Not for UCI weigh ins, they make you take off all electronics that are not essential to the operation of the cycle...even the cycle computer has to come off.
Nice rig but pointless for racing.

commu*ist spy
just try pulling up to a five start reataurant on a bike, any bike. they won't even let you in. i even had trouble giving blood away the other day at the bloodmobile because i rode up on a bike. i know that was the problem. they treated me like i had a raging case of scurvy or somethin'.
anyway, it's nice to see that manufacturer's are not reluctant to ignore the UCI rules.

I hope they become legal full time, but you won't see them at the TDF this year.

18.5lb sounds heavy for a Carbon bike with ultegra, unless $2,600 is a good deal. I know the Cervelo R3 with 105 components costs that much but you can get them for around $2,200 at year end.
I would have assumed the bike would be closer to the 17lb range. Doesn't a CAAD 10 ultegra weigh less than 18? And that's aluminum! And 400 bucks less.

The frame is a claimed 690 grams. The Cannondale Evo, Argon 18 Gallium Pro, Scott Addict, Cervelo R5 VWD, Ridley Helium SL... are all reported to weigh 750 - so 60 grams or 8 percent of weight savings. I wouldn't say that's far lighter. And many of those frames can be had for less than the $4,200 Trek is charging.
And any of those frames can be built to about 10 pounds with the same components Trek is spec'ing on its Emonda.

Totally agree with this. When I built my Look 675 I wasn't even thinking about weight but rather using quality components and it came out to 14.8 pounds. I can easily lose 4-5 pounds on a century ride...

I once took a coworker to a company paid dinner, where i picked the place on google. I didn't know I had picked a place as fancy as it was, I only picked it because it had 5 star reviews on google. the guy asked if we had a reservation. and to lend perspective, we pulled up in my jaded honda civic, wearing regular tshirts and shorts. we didn't have a reservation, and he sat us down because the place was almost empty. waiter offered to take my friend's hat, which he was still wearing, and he was so nervous that he just said uh no, and threw it on the ground next to him. we stuck out like a ****ing sore thumb. everyone else was wearing fancy ass clothes, except for this surgeon who came in from work dressed in work clothes. I had 6 utensils, no freaking idea what the difference is between the big fork and the little forks. All I needed was one damn fork, and maybe a knife. the bill was like 135 or something before tip. but company paid for it. Thanks Mr. Koch. hehehhehehehe
Totally off topic, but I wear jeans and tshirts to most fancy restaurants. Who gives a crap what I'm wearing if I have the money to eat there. The people that dress up for that crap are either at a business dinner or only go to a nice restaurant once in a blue moon. Sticking out like a sore thumb is my middle finger to the man!
On topic...2 points to Trek for not putting their logo in giant red letters on the side. I dig the low key look. Jens was talking on twitter yesterday about his teammates riding these in the Tour this year. Said they're a really nice bike.

I used to think like that until I turned 18. Going to the most expensive steak house with flip flops and T shirt etc. Who cares if you got the money right? That is what is wrong with the world today. Now, I dress nice to be polite to others and to contribute to a nice atmosphere and ambiance for people who are there to have a pleasant time. It's good to be relaxed about etiquette but there is also a level of class that should portray respect to the people around you, remember, they are looking at you not vice versa. Nothing worse than having Lil' John show up at your local family restaurant with his 7 hookers showing half their ass and getting the best service imaginable because they can afford to pay a $10k meal...
All money and no class. Don't mock those who dress well to look good even to go to Cici's pizza, they deserve more respect than the gorilla who lights $100 bills on fire with Kush rolled Philly blunts.
PS. Snobbery and stuck upiness is just as bad.
