It's a human powered vehicle. They are typically used on velodromes and flat roads for speed attempts. Without climbing, weight doesn't manner nearly as much as aerodynamics. Carrying and extra 20lbs at speed doesn't take near as much effort as wind resistance at 70+mph.

The propel is hot (except the pedals, wtf) but the trek is a no go.

A better picture of the Propel would be great but still hot. And Trek is a not regardless of staging.

Propel is hot even with pink pedals. Nothing wrong with pink. especially in cycling.

The way that Trek is staged with the angle of the pic, plus whatever is on the stem, really makes it look like there is a tall pole attached to the stem haha

The stem is a Pro Stealth Evo.
Yes the frame geometry of the Domane is relaxed, very relaxed. It is meant as my 3+ hr bike.

Propel is hot. Domane just looks too... compact, I guess, with the tall HT and the sloping TT.

Hence the reason i also went with a white seat with the black trim. The white seat matches the cockpit, the the black trim and carbon matches the seatpost/seat mast.

both trek and propel are HOT. i like the RSLT team's approach of white bike/white seatpost/white stem/spacers and black saddle/black bar tape the most, but no question, as currently staged, the Trek's very hot.

So, some of you might remember my original Addict...
Addict by MajorMantra, on Flickr
A couple of days after I posted that I discovered cracks around the bottle bosses. For reasons that are too boring to go into, I now have the original bike (repaired by me) and a brand new Addict R3 frame as well. Hence...

Saddle position probably needs dialing anyway as I've not been on a proper ride yet, just home from work. The Romin Evo is also an experiment for me.
