A New Bike?

March 4, 2007 10:02 pm

Since last fall, I have been thinking it is about time to get a new bike. I did a test ride on a Look 585 Ultra and was quite impressed. I really want to get a lighter weight bike than my current Trek 5200 and I am concerned that I have 25,000 miles on those wheels. I have been considering three different options, the Look 585, a Giant TCR Advanced and the Trek Madone 5.9. They all run around the same price. I have been very happy with the geometry of my Trek 5200 and was thinking that a new Trek might fit me well. I noticed on the Trek website that they are a promotion of up to $700 off on select bikes, including the Madone 5.9. I am going into their shop on Tuesday to decide.

Here is a photo and specs of the bike I am considering.

Yes, but I am still not sure I will be okay if I just get a double. Could I ride the death ride with a double?
