Somehow that just seems wrong; bicycles are elegant and simple, right? www.cyclingnews.com/news/john-degenkolbs-tour-de-france-trek-madone-gallery/ Cheers Jim

Spot on! Poorly executed trick engineering seems to be a "feature" on Madones. My 2009 is my primary triathlon racing bike and is yet again laid up with design flaw breakdown and maybe, gasp! is done while my Viscounts and '80's steel bikes keep rolling!

Cheers,
Michael
