2008 Trek Madone

I am writing Ruby code today and all of a sudden I need a fix for bike porn so I do my usual search for Time bikes, this time the Time VXS which is supposed to be a comfort bike. I end up at VeloGoGo and read about a special VXS built for Tom Boonen. Then I notice 2008 Trek Madone: The Un-BILF and think I have to read this. About an hour later I have made my way through the latest news on the 2008Trek Madone and my lust is off the charts. Here's the official site and a blog by Ben Coates, the Discovery Team Liaison for Trek Bicycles. Lennard Zinn's report is probably the most informative article available right now.

Here's some of the community response.

General chatter with some lovers and some detractors and some saying Trek stole all the ideas.
Talk about fit and geometry
BB and Headset
Styling talk

I am sure there will be more. Trek is loved and hated. I want to know how it rides which means I have to find one to ride.

Trek is back on my short list. I love that they are made in the United States and better yet there is a local shop that sells them so I don't have to drive an hour and a half. Now I just need to find someone willing to let me ride one.
