I'm big, heavy and like to go fast. Roads around here are rough.
.. Guess you are only Missing Alpine Climbs and Descents..

Note: the Pros only use a frame and bike for a few Months, and then get a new one,
maybe at least the next spring.

You may anticipate doing the same , if you want to ride that kind of Kit.

Now a Custom Builder like Calfee in Cal, will add more material to the layup
when Building the frame , to make it for your build and riding style.

Mass produced stuff IDK who their model rider is , probably light strong Pro's.

Trek's Lifetime Warrantee to new owners, may be the thing . to consider ..

their new Domane attempts to soften the ride by an elastomer
where the seat tube passes behind the top tube, and between the chainstays..

An interesting Design.. they tried An elastomer monostay in Madones ,
for Roubaix cobbled roads , now they went with that design..
will see if they put any under the Next team's spring classics Riders.
