2019 Trek Madone SLR vs. 2019 Specialized Venge
I'm in the market for a 2019 Trek Madone SLR or 2019 Specialized Venge Pro. What is feedback regarding the ride quality? I want a little more comfort and compliance than most aero bikes offer, but these two are the leading contenders. I just don't want the crap beat out of me by every single bump in the road around NYC. I'd LOVE to test ride one, but needing a 61 or 62cm frame, that's very unlikely!

The Madone has adjustable compliance on the top tube, so you can change it to suit your needs.

if you appear to be a serious buyer they may order one in for you. I know a shop here ordered a bike in for me to test ride. Granted, I ride a 56, so it’s a much more sale able size.
