Trek damone

Hi all,

Does anyone here own one of these? I've read a few on line reviews, but it would be good to read some first hand experience.. Cheers.

Do you mean a Madone? Or a Domane?

I have a 5.2.
It's the most comfortable bike you can ride, yet still feels sprightly and quick. It's very stiff in power transfer. The carbon won't break and bearings should last the life of the frame but they are easily replaced if needed. You can also fit a full guard even with 25c tyres.
However, whether you like all that is a matter of personal taste.

I assumed Domane. Which I have although I used to have a Madone as we'll so can comment on that if needed

What bearings do you mean? The suspension/movement does not use bearings.
Headset, BB, wheels or anything else wouldn't be a product related directly to the frame and would be replaceable.

The frame has bearings at the junction of the top and seat tubes. This allows the seat tube to flex 100% more than if it were a normal solid frame. They don't rotate more than a few degrees themselves so have very little wear rate.
