I love my Madison, i have been riding it everyday since I got it about a month an a half ago. The only changes I've made are wrapping the bars, and adding lights. It is a solid ride and have put many miles on it. I will eventually make a few updates to it, but for now it fits my novice tastes.

Does anyone know the max size chainring will work on a 2008 Madison? I'm currently running 46/17, but thinking about bumping up the size of chainring & cog for looks, longer drivetrain life and (perhaps) extra smoothness.

I know a 53 will fit:
but just barely...depending on the cranks, you might get a bit of paint to chip off.

Excellent. The previous owner stripped almost all the paint off of it, so that wouldn't be a problem. Those are some good looking cranks - what are they? What size cog were you running?

looks like the pedalroom is a bit off... 53 front 18 rear, but I didn't have it like that for long. Mostly it was 48/18, I just happen to come across a spare chrome chainring rather than the anodized grey one. They were the stock truvativ touro cranks.

4130 cro-mo.
As much as you'd be willing to pay for it.
The chart was on the Schwinn site but I think it's been taken down. I do know the head tube and seat tube are a few degrees steeper on the '08 than later and current years.
Yes.

Wanted! 2010 Madison Handlebars
I know a lot of you swapped out your 2010 Madison Handlebars because you think they are lame... however I loved mine. My Madison was stolen! I got a new bike but miss my handlebars from my Madison. Can anyone hook me up with their old ones that are just hanging around in your garage? Thanks!

Just saw the 2012 Madison for the first time and literally said "REALLY???" out loud.

Jeez. I must have thought it was so bad, I totally erased the image from my mind.

I'm going bigger this year and will be tripping on acid when I sit down at the design table.
