think he could make another one?

That's a very nice bike, but it doesn't quite get all the way to "hot", for me. Headset spacers are always a cooler. The headlight, too. I'm a little on the fence about the bottle cage color.

If there ever was a modern frame/color/bike screaming for a chrome/silver groupset, this is the one. Too bad we live in the age of darkness.

For sure if I had a Domane, I would want that one. I don’t own a Domane.

Wife does.

I say Hot. Spacers don’t add nor take away in my opinion for this particular bike in this particular picture.

Mojo31

He can if he still has the print file. I'll see what I can do for you.

bampilot06

That would be awesome.

Shadco 

I like it great photography too.

So hot

Shadco 

Done messing around didn’t like the white stem. Installed the new tires and tubes she is ready for spring.

bampilot06

Took 15 off the fork, new bar tape.

Eric F 

Hot! Would be even hotter if you could actually ride it (pedals) What is going on below the stem? There's some sort of dangly bits in there.

bampilot06

Light mount. Pedals are on it now. I really need another power meter. Switching garmin pedals between the checkpoint and the madone is getting old.

Shadco 

Specialized tape on a Trek? Isn’t that blasphemy?

Otherwise hot.

I don’t get caught up in all that. If it looks good then why not. The bontrager tape is boring.

I really like gummies, particularly the dark brown/reddish ones Continental used to have. But, but, I look at the end of the bar tape and that silver conflicts with the gummy tires. I realize that it matches the trim/decals on the bike, but still. Either the tires, or the tape ends needs to be black. I can't give it an evaluation anyway because it's not in rideable condition.

How wide is the frame where the stem goes into the headtube and where the seattube/chainstays intersect?

Eric F 

Is it Specialized? I thought it was Supacaz.

bampilot06

Tires need to be changed. Just havnt had a chance. These tires belong to the ritchey, and are only 25 mm. Would like all black 28s. eventually.

bampilot06

I guess specialized owns supacaz

bampilot06

Not sure, Why?

Looking at these pics and the ones in the new Madonda thread, it appears that modern bike frames have finally sized me out. They keep getting wider in places where I had clearance problems already. I'm 5'8" with a cycling inseam in the 30" - 31" range. I also have long beefy arms. The modern fit calculators would have me riding a 54cm frame. I have 25-26"ish quads/hammies and 18-19"ish calves. There's already very little room in the imaginary rectangle block between the seattube junction and the headtube junction. Each new model limits the room even more. Because of the smallish frame I have clearance/rubbing problems at the headtube, particularly if I come off the saddle to climb or sprint. I also have clearance problems around where the seatstays pass over the tire. The rear DO/seatstays space keeps getting wider and wider as they stuff more in there. I keep hoping for a modern spaced cassette/drivetrain with as many gears as they can put into 120-130 DO spacing and a frame to accept it. As it is though, the modern CF frames with their 2" x 4" style tubes won't work for me. Oh well, it saves me some money.

I’ll take another picture of it in a moment.

Mojo31

Would be quite hot if photod against a black backdrop.

Otherwise, hot.

bampilot06

I don’t have your skill set

bampilot06

It doesn’t seem any wider than the Gen 6. My legs rub the top tube when I pedal. Just need to get some spacers for the pedals. You could give that a try.

I don’t follow how you do not have enough clearance where the seat stay comes over the tire though.

bampilot06

I noticed my thighs rubbing the top tube of my emonda today. It’s also my cleat position. The rubbing doesn’t bother me, maybe in the summer it will be an issue.

Minor detail...Rotate the image a little so the horizonal lines in the garage door are parallel with the top/bottom edge of the picture. For this pic, it will also give the bike the appearance of more handlebar drop. More drop is more hot.
