Realizing that the Trek Madone is the bike that would suit me best for my flat, downhill, and sprint endeavors, the price was out of my range. I settled in in the Trek Domane as it can be modified to help increase speed but can also be used for some gravel trails. This would not have been possible last year when I was only making minimum wage. After over 14 years, the old Trek is retired from full time use!
