A little about the seller:

I’ve been in the cycling industry for more than 30 years (I know, that makes me old!). I’ve been a professional bicycle mechanic for most of those years, including working locally at Lee’s Cyclery before they became Trek Stores. Now I work from home as a Customer Success Manager for a software team. But I still love fixing up and working on bikes, and riding them too!

Purchase from me with peace of mind. Not only can you trust my years of experience, but I will also fit you for the bike and provide any mechanical insight at the time of purchase. No warranties or refunds, provided. The bikes are sold as-is but It includes follow-up minor adjustments and fitting if needed within the first 30 days as well.

Shipping information:

I ship UPS Ground and the bike is disassembled. I do have a video to help in putting back together.  Usually, it’s the Bars, Front Wheel, Pedals, and Seatpost that need to be put back on. I try to keep it simple. It will be packed very well, but if you see any damage to the box or bike keep the box and packing material plus, take pictures. I do insure all bikes that are shipped and require a signature. In addition, if shipped out of Colorado, there is no Sales Tax.

Colorado customers, try to buy Local. Info below:

For Local Purchases Only:

If you’re local to Loveland, Colorado, it is highly recommended to come to check it out in person. A professional fitting is included with each bike sold to ensure you have the right size bike and it fits you. All bike showings are by appointment only, so feel free to grab some time off of my calendar.

Trek Madone 6.9 review

Trek's top dog offers lightweight option

James Huang

Trek's top of the range Madone 6.9 is double the price of their mid-level Madone 5.2. It's lighter but what else do you get for the extra $US4000?

In our review of the 5.2 , we found it to be a near perfect road machine, offering a reasonably light weight, superb ride and handling characteristics with an intelligent parts spec that offered a good balance between performance and cost. In addition, the innovative frameset design incorporated a number of novel features such as the no-cut integrated seatmast, 90mm-wide bottom bracket shell with drop-in cartridge bearings and correspondingly oversized down tube and chain stays, and the tapered and oversized 1 1/8"-to-1 1/2" steerer tube.

Even so, the 5.2 sits just fourth in the lineup which is topped by the Madone 6.9 model. The 6.9 is quite a bit lighter: our identically proportioned 54cm tester weighed just 6.7kg (14.7lb) without pedals as compared to the 5.2's 7.3kg (16.1lb). The top-end OCLV Red Series frame accounts for 120g of the difference and the carbon-steerered fork another 90g.

The other 480g is accounted for by the build kit which includes Shimano Dura-Ace Dual Control levers, derailleurs and brake callipers, a Bontrager Race X Lite compact crankset and Bontrager Race XXX Lite carbon clincher wheels. A SRAM OG-1070 cassette and Dura-Ace chain round out the drivetrain while the Bontrager label is also fitted to the Race XXX Lite VR carbon bar , Race XXX Lite Carbon stem and carbon-shelled Race X Lite saddle.

Ride: solidly neutral, just like a Madone

Given the OCLV Red Series frame's high modulus fibre additions we expected our Madone 6.9 to deliver a stiffer ride and snappier response. But once we swapped out the wheels to our reference Mavic R-SYS set, we actually couldn't tell much of a difference which wasn't exactly a bad thing. The same comfy ride, neutral handling and snappy response were all still there just as we'd remembered them.

As it turns out, that similarity was by design and ironically, this turns out to be both the Madone 6.9's best and most disappointing quality. According to Trek road brand manager Scott Daubert, Trek intentionally kept the frame stiffness and ride quality consistent across the entire Madone range. That is no small feat, but it means the main difference between the 6.9 and the 5.2 is reduced mass.

Don't get us wrong; 0.6kg (1.3lb) is a fair amount of weight to shed and is noticeable in most situations, especially during extended climbs, and we'll take a Shimano Dura-Ace package and full carbon clinchers any day. But consider this: of the roughly 600g total weight difference, 360g comes purely from the upgrade to the Race XXX Lite wheels. Those wheels carry a retail price of US$2,000, yet the difference in cost between the Madone 5.2 and 6.9 is US$4,000.

As such, one could purchase the Madone 5.2 and a set of Race XXX Lite wheels outright and make up more than half of the weight gap in the process (more if you went with the tubular variety). The end product would deliver nearly identical performance as the full-on Madone 6.9 thanks to the near Dura-Ace quality of the new Ultegra SL. What's more, you'd then also end up with a perfectly usable set of training wheels as a bonus and still have about US$1800 left over (forgot about the race-worthy tubular tyres at US$100 a pop, didn't you?) for additional upgrades, clothing, gas, dinners out, a holiday ... you get the point.

Summary: it's your money

Ignoring cost, Trek's Madone 6.9 takes everything we loved about the 5.2 and only adds to it, in a manner of speaking. It's also admirable that the OCLV Red Series frameset manages to shed 210g while still retaining all of the 5.2's excellent handling manners, stiffness, overall feel and ride quality.

Even so, the huge premium between the two models makes it difficult for us to justify the 6.9 to most buyers. If you absolutely have to have the best and have the money to do so, be our guest. We have no doubt that you'll be happy with your purchase and will pedal into the sunset with gleeful show tunes looping in the background. For the rest of us, though, some simple adding up points to a more logical option.
