Emonda is also Madone scrambled! They like doing that with the names of their top bikes!

anyway, it's nice to see that manufacturer's are not reluctant to ignore the UCI rules.

You are making a very common error. Esoterica doesn't equate to value.

Not usually a Trek fan, but they did a good job on this one. Stealth black is kind of played out by now, but Treks usually have ugly paint jobs anyway.
It's super cool for rec riders, but at what point does a frame get too light for the pros? Even after pedals, power meter, and heavier wheels there is still a lot of weight to add.

That frame should support 60mm wheels, disc brakes, Di2, video camera, & full computer at right around the 15 lbs mark. Basically, everything a pro wants on a bike.

There was a rumor that Cookson was thinking about looking at a new weight limit, but who knows.

Land on which homes are built appreciate so they're a good investment.
If someone can afford it, they can certainly buy a luxury bicycle. Its a free country.

At 16K, I would expect nothing but the finest and lightest components on that bike. Every ounce of shed weight counts and Trek should certainly be happy to help a buyer trim more fat from it at that price level at no additional cost.

Over on Weight Weenies they're having wet dreams about this bike. They are claiming the Madone will only be offered in 1, 2 and 7 series so this Emonda is more or less reaplacing the Madone as their volume "race bike" offering. Just to be clear, Trek is offering the Emonda in 16 different builds starting at $1650.

That was a big word. But no, I'm making no error. Those brands hold no interest with me. Just like when I was into hot rods I never had a Mustang since you see one at every stop light. They're nice and everything but I don't want one.

If I were to spend that much on a bike, it'd be a VFR1200F.
2013 VFR1200F Overview - Honda Powersports
That one MSRPs for a dollar under $16K... probably a bit faster than the Trek Edamame... or whatever it's called.

This has to be the replacement for my commuter bike that I have been waiting for. Does it have rack mounts and fenders?

Pretty sure cameras are legal. There were several Giant-Shimano riders using the new Shimano cam during the Tour of California.
