I'm not in the new bike market. We both know we could have 15 bikes for that much, all with DA, all used.
Looks like with the new IsoFlow diamond seattube/post thingy, Trek might have reached the point I feared would come with modern frame evolution. Frame construction keeps getting wider tubes starting to resemble 2x4s. If you look at those pictures of Mad Pederson riding the new Madone, look at where that diamond part of the seatstays is in relation to his quads. It might not happen to a tall dude perched a foot and a half above the TT, but there's a really good chance that a short stocky guy with big quads(like you and I) will have legs rubbing the frame there. I hope that crank has a high q factor. Maybe not, but it's already a problem on the front of the TT behind the headtube on some frames I've sat on.
