Collected my Madone SLR today and the guy at Trek informed me that the oversized clamp for carbon rails on the SLR seatpost is available. Not sure of the part number yet as I need a few more parts after its been stripped/resprayed and I built it up again so will be ordering a few bits so will get it then.

Pics of the new steed? Love these bikes think they look stunning!
Patience! It’s getting stripped this weekend before the frame goes off to be painted and rebuilt. Only the bars and frame will be original, all other components will be replaced to suit my position and taste.

Pics when it’s complete ... probably April some time smile

Is that Trek's/Bontrager's version of carbon rails (7x10) or everybody else's (7x9)? I rarely ride more than 100 miles at a time on the Trek so it's not the end of the world but this would let me shave 100g of weight off and allow me to use it for some of the quicker long stuff.
Yup, OEM .. available from Trek. I'll get him to send me the part number and post it up.
