What year? Is that the aluminum frame. I have all my parts from my warranties Madone 5.0. Was looking at the rim brake aluminum frame. I’d need the BB and direct mount brakes. I even have those wheels. Just wish it had rack mounts.
I like your background better than my obligatory garage door.

The fence is Cypress that was a tree one day in Southern Georgia and my fence the next day in Jacksonville. The panels weighed about 200 lbs each with all the moisture they had in them. I painstakingly applied a semi transparent light walnut using a 4" stain brush about 2 months later after it had dried out a little. I had 300 linear ft to do, most was board on board, but this section of is about 65 ft and took me a week by itself, but I thought it came out fantastic.

My current ride is a 58 and it seems just a touch too small. I shortened the stem by 2 cm and my knees almost hit the bars when I am out of the saddle. Most fitting guides put me in a 60 as my cycling inseam is a bit over 36 inches and I'm over 6'1". I

At least with Trek even if you order they have a 30 day return policy.

I also went down a size for my Domane from a normal 54 to a 52.

What do you mean by too much seat post ? This info is very relevant because I suffered a very serious (almost fatal) neck injury in December and I can't crane my neck up to see ahead of me in an aero position. I literally broke my neck and dislocated my head!! I have to use a more upright position and size will be very important. After about 2-3 hours on my 2.3 my neck is feeling it so fit will be crucial. I figure an endurance geometry us what I need. I can mountain bike with far less pain but am a roadie at heart.

The main hold up are the components from Shimano and SRAM and some tires. Frames seem to be in high supply.

"I’m the same height with a 35 inch inseam. <> A 60cm in the Domane had too much seat post."
I assume this means the tall "seat mast" combined with the size 60 seat tube meant the saddle couldn't be lowered enough to accommodate his inseam. Swapping out the tall seat mast for a short seat mast would have likely rectified this.

There are two "seat mast" sizes for the current Trek Domane - short and tall. Size 56 and below bikes come standard with the short seat mast. Size 58 and above bikes come standard with the tall seat mast. It's listed in the specs if you look closely, but other than that Trek hasn't done a very good job of making this fact clear to potential buyers. Many shop staff don't realize it either.
