Constructed using a 600 series OCLV carbon, the 2017 Trek Madone 9.2 is a serious lightweight race bike, built for the highest of race speeds. The saddle isn’t original–it’s newer and a bit more comfortable than the factory USPS team saddle… but I think we still have a couple of those in the saddle box… so I could swap that out if so desired. The all-new Madone from Trek sets the new benchmark for race performance, with a 600 series OCLV carbon frame and a Shimano Ultegra drivetrain, this bike has been designed for the maximum speeds possible. Even with Lance’s dramatic fall from grace, that era still influenced a lot of riders I can still remember staying up all night here in the states to watch live Tour de France coverage to see what amazing feats Lance would manage to pull off next.
