Subject: Suggestions for Madone near $3,000 range Recently, my wife has mentioned that I should replace my Trek SLR1500 aluminum bike with an all carbon unit. Who am I to disagree? While I am no bike racer by any means, I am a front of the pack triathlete and do well in my age group at 52 years old. I need a road bike to log long training miles that does not beat me up like my aluminum SLR1500. My tri-bike, Speed Concept 7 feels like a luxury sedan compared to my road bike. The local Trek dealer has taken such good care of me that I am very reluctant to even consider another brand or buying online. So if you had three grand and wanted a Madone, which model would you get? Thanks Mark |
