Trek Madone as fixie

Yuk. Most TT bikes are feckin' hideous these days.
Cervelo and TIME for me (if someone gives me the cash).

It has all got a bit sci-fi, but the engineering on it is beautifull.

Still think Lotus had it licked:

though this is the frame i would love to use for my ultimate techno fix:

3.26kg / 7.2lb

thats correct.

lance had a fixed madone, they swithced out the dropouts for track ends- looks ok if that5 kind of thing is what you like

the felt was proven as the most aerodynamic tt bike last year and it being ridden by team slipstream this year

heres the prototype

Proven by who and in what conditions? It's still ugly.
Aero also doesn't equal fast if the frame handles like wet spaghetti.

Lance never went for the hour in the end though.
That guy needs to Harden The Fuck Up.

ive rode one they feel brilliant great handling and there was a group test of all the major brands last year in the wind tunnel and the felt came out on top i think it was cycling weekly think or pro cycling

These Trek Madones are beautifully tuned for geared road racing. I have a 5.0. I have ridden a 5.2. I can't understand how they can keep making them better and lighter. It doesn't make sense to convert to fixie and to think you can do that and do justice to the frame is daft.

great dredge, would love a stupidly ott frame to ride the spice route on....

madones are relatively expensive, why not just get a fixie frame instead? also they dont look quite right as fixed i think

Fixie!

fixie fixie fixie!

there i said it. i feel dirty now.

id only do this if i had access to a cheap second hand frame or end of line model. theres no point dishing out for an expensive road frame and convert it when you could just get an actual track frame. with that said there is some merit to using a road frame for a bike that never sees a velodrome.

I've ridden one; they feel brilliant, great handling. There was a group test of all the major brands last year in the wind tunnel, and the Felt came out on top. I think it was Cycling Weekly or Pro Cycling.

Fixie!

Fixie...fixie!?

FIXIE !?!!

Good God, Sir...

it has to be said, this looks wicked. if they hadn't got the price point so badly wrong, and instead sold it for £1000, they'd make an absolute killing.

Whats the damage on those things?

street price : £2800
