A few months ago I purchased a Trek Emonda ALR frameset. Built it up with 105 Di2 group, 35mm deep carbon wheels with GP 5000 tires. This build allowed me to finish it off with bike parts that fit me, like, 165mm cranks, 40mm handlebars, carbon seatpost, and a nice saddle. So, what I ended up with is a bike that fits me well and I have full confidence in. I find it very fast on the flats, nice and snappy, climbs well, and safe on downhills. The bike feels super solid, something that a well designed alloy frame delivers. This is my second aluminum Trek. The other is a 10 year old Crossrip with AL frame (early version of Domane), set up for gravel. Ya, I'm super happy with these Trek aluminum frames!!!

Im interested in the Trek bikes but the Emonda AL frameset is not really a good value proposition. In fact, they are punishing you for picking the frame set over a built up bike... Trek built Emonda AL5 = £1850 Emonda Frame set = £1300 A 105 groupset is £400-430, Wheels £300-800+ (based on personal budget but you wouldnt kit an Emonda up with a £300 set of Mavics...), Seat post £50-60, Handlebars £50-79, bar tape £10-15, Saddle £30-200 (based on budget) and the list goes on.... By the time you complete your build and calculate the amount of money you put into building the bike, you might as should have gone with an off the shelf AL5 then sold off the stock wheels for £100-200 and bought a better set of wheels.

A VERY odd complaint in 2024. I had a dropped seatstay aluminum frame from BMC back in 2009 and it was awesome. I'm sure Cannondale are figuring out how to get people to like it and perhaps that will include angling the top tube more so the top tube and seatstays meet at the same place (like a TCR) and people think it doesn't have dropped stays ( LOL)
