First Carbon: Used 2014 Trek Madone 5.2?
Looking to buy a used road bike. Can this bike fit 28s? I don't think I can do 25s anymore! Guy wants 1200.

My old 2013 Madone 6.2 fit a 25c GP5K on a wide rim that calipered at almost 29mm wide.

It didn't even occur to me when initially replying that I own a 2013 Madone, I'd assume the frame clearance would be similar to the 2014 5-series. I run 25mm GP5k tires on Ardennes+ rims, the internal rim width is 21mm, and I have clearance for these tires but I don't think 28s would fit.
