Road Bikes

[Honey Badger282.8]

Figured I'd bump this. I never got a bike while I was out in California, nothing really struck my fancy and I was about to come back to a Colorado winter which meant no rides. Bicycle Village had a big sale this weekend and I picked up a barely used demo bike for a steal at $800. The tires are brand new and it still had all of the protective wrap on the shiny bits.

2015 Trek Domane 4.3C, Series 4
Full Carbon
Shimano 105 Components



I took it for a 30 mile ride today, so much better than riding a full-suspension mountain bike.

Good job on a carbon 105 bike.

I got a 2015 Ridley X-Fire carbon Ultegra for my girl, reg $3600 for $1200 at Performance.

I thought my Domane 5.2C for $2500 a few weeks ago was a good deal...but that is a steal. Nice find!

Nicely done on the Domane! Good find. My wife loves hers.

Also nicely done on the x-fire!

Trek........

That's a heckuva price..

Is it a 10 or 11 speed at the back?

put a good carbon seatpost on that bad boy and you'll see the IsoSpeed really come into its own.

The bottom brackets are notoriously hard to get tuned right. If it needs to be serviced, just get a new one. a 105 BB should be around $30, but a Dura Ace is right around $50. I've had to change one before and the press-fit is not worth it to try and salvage; they are usually destroyed by removing them.

It's an 11 speed and has a carbon seatpost.

I put 33 miles on it this past Sunday, aside from the derailleur needing some tuning there isn't anything I want to change on it yet. Thanks for the heads up on the BB!

Derailer needing adjusted is to be expected. New cables will stretch a few times and other components will shift minor amounts until everything is seated where it should be. I have about 75 on my new Domane and have had it adjusted once and probably could use it again after my next ride.

One of the best designs for BB is the thread together. In aluminum frames (and certain carbon frames, too) the BB used to thread in to the bracket area. The Press-Fit style can get some creaking in there due to dirt/debris getting wedged in between the plastic 'sacrificial' housing and the frame.

Here's an example of the kind that thread together. (I changed all of my BB to the full ceramic thread together type)


Trek's factory seat posts are carbon wrapped aluminum, usually.
