So I started looking at older road bikes to possibly upgrade.....noticed how many carbon road bikes there are and how light they are....started asking Oddjob some questions and ended up with the bike you see above.
Exposed carbon, polished everything is the plan...doesn't have to win...just don't want to feel like a tool bag riding it..
Here it is yesterday before a spirited ride.
It's a 2011 Trek Madone 4.7....same bike as Lance Armstrong rode in the Tour De France except his would have been a 9 point something.....it has 20 gears...(the reason I won't be adding gears)..and weighs 18.5 lbs.
