Interesting thread. It starts all dogma and the rationale starts to come through as people understand more. It looks like the only downside is the inability to easily change gearing. It can be done but it is expensive. Lot's of upsides by all accounts. My District is on order. I can't wait.

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.
