Trek madone 4.5

[topgonads]

Hi do you still have this? I bought one 2 months ago. I think its wonderful except that my crown jewels get numb on hills so i think ill be buying a new seat soon. Can you give me a long term verdict on the bike?

[derrickb1974]

The 2011 Madone 3.1 looks very close, but not exactly the same. I personally have a 2011 Madone 3.1.

Hope you enjoy your ride as much as I have been enjoying mine.

@MrIrishlogic Hi, I have this bike and love it. It is fast and responsive and I ride 50 kms every day on it. It is light too and sometimes when there are strong headwinds that is a bit of a problem but mostly not. Have changed over the seat to a selle italia because the Bontrager one wasn't too comfortable and this saddle is brilliant. Have Look Keo pedals and cleats and they are fine too.

[Wildflower77777]

You will love the bike. I have one too and have ridden over 8000 kms since March 2010. The saddle wasn't great and had that changed over to a selle Italia which is great. You might want to check out Look Keo pedals when you're ready for clipless. The bike is very fast and responsive and you couldn't get a better ride. I have a combination of 105's and Ultegra in the gearing system and that works well too.

Just bought the same bike. Can't wait to ride it snowed in at the moment

[glozick]

all you need now are clipless pedals and some bartape for those wires exposed in the front

[zyma7]

I love this bike! Comfortable and easy to ride

:) The frame does flex alot on rough roads, my bottle cage keeps coming undone!

Smooth roads no problem

Everything runs great!

[chenshiwei]

@zyma7 oic.. oh well, as long as your happy with your bike, its worth it =)

@chenshiwei

All of the 2011 Trek 5 Series got switched to TCT Carbon, Now only the 6 Series has the OCLV2 Carbon. Which kinda sucks.

[JohnSlonakiller]

@chenshiwei The only Trek bikes made in the United States are the 6-series model line.

Did you get this sexy bike from a dealer or online? And if so what was the cost?

[zyma7]

@AC130EMPYREAL Hi, I got the bike from a dealer, done a deal got 10% off, I paid £1,425 for it.

[kev5145129976]

[hikari820330]

How about specialized TOUPE Saddle?

[tesco1990]

ok thanks

[tesco1990]

[zyma7]

No, the bike is not a WSD.

It would be best if you could possibly try one out for size somewhere!

[tesco1990]

[zyma7]

52 cm,  I have short legs!
