Nice ! Love the linesAfter spending my entire life calling them road vermin....I've finally succumbed to the temptation of being an annoying twat on the road! Picked up my new Trek Madone the other week.

Yes, riding the bike was quite enjoyable but I didn't really enjoy looking like such a ******.

I bought this for my xmas present and only been out on it twice so far. Norco Fluid VLT, mullet, carbon, Rockshox, Fox, bluetooth gears and Bosch SX motor. It’s only 19kg and rideable without assistance. It’s so lovely I don’t want to get it dirty lol
I've already done a few mods, added magura calipers but I kept the TRP levers as they are more adjustable and easi-bleed. Floating discs, carbon bars and lightweight DMR pedals plus my fave Charge Spoon saddle.

I’ve found they don’t do that much anyway, I’ve took the large mud hugger off the rear and fitted a smaller Cannondale to mine. More discrete and does save some mess, but not much in it. I’ve found I always get covered in mud regardless on trails.
There are a lot of annoying twats on the road, most not on bikes. Nice bike.Have Trek dialed in much flex at the seatpost? Seems to be their thing and it works pretty well. I had a Procaliber hard-tail with their fandangled flexing seatpost.

I sold a modified Ribble Ultra last year as I gave up TT'ing. That would have been perfect for your Iron Man.
