Dream Build | 2023 Trek Madone SLR Gen 7 Project One Amplified Alchemy

I had a wonderful opportunity to work with Sadan and James from "Trek NYC Forest Hill". We upgraded from a Gen 6 to this Gen 7 frame with Amplified Alchemy paint job. Most components are transferred from the old Madone - a SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD groupset with Red crankset and cassette.

So this was bought as a frameset? Which means you needed to buy a seat post and the handlebar separately right?

[@inspktr51]

Nice bike however, if you want it to ride in a group this is the worst bike for pulling. I recently did a 195 mile ride and had the opportunity to pace the windstream od 3 of them. One was my buddy’s bike size 54. At the beginning I thought there must’ve been a tailwind or something, after a guy passed us at like 27mph I followed his stream however after I tucked myself behind him I felt that I was working extra hard, like if there was nobody in front of me pulling. We continued to ride at an average of 24mph for like 4 miles and the guy moved back I was spent and allowed my friend to move forward on his cannondale Caad , big difference I could feel the pull but I was spent. When the other guy decided to move forward, my buddy in the cannondale tried to catch up the swindtream but he was unable to stay on his wheel. So we ended up letting them go. Now we had our guy riding his, but everytime he was supposed to pull we noticed that his bike sucks at pulling. If anyone else has noticed this please confirm. Trek Madone can’t pull.

[@j.a.s.o.n.z.h.a.n.g]

Thanks for telling us about your experience! I mostly ride solo or a very small group, and the experience so far has been mostly positive. Although this new gen has had some good records in big tours, it is definitely a biased data as the riders are these monstrous pro cyclists lol. Would love to hear others' inputs on this as well.

[@inspktr51]

@@j.a.s.o.n.z.h.a.n.g I just tested one and it’s very weird because when you’re riding it solo the bike goes by itself. But is probably so aerodynamic that there’s no stream left behind, who knows.

[@user-sz7fo1jm1w]

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
