  • USER REVIEWS

I have owned this bike for 10 years now, and put thousands of miles on it and it is still going strong! It's is ultra hardy and durable (been in a few small accidents, throw it in my car, etc.). The aluminum frame makes it very responsive to power pushes. The carbon fiber fork and seat post dampens some of the road noise and the 105 components are excellent! This bike is an incredible value and I feel like it rides just as well as bikes that are 5x its price.

The front derailleur is finicky and I have to adjust it often to be able to kick it into the highest gear. The tires that come with the bike are not good, worth an upgrade. The aluminum is nice for durability and responsiveness and for the average rider the extra weight is worth it. But for a competitive rider, they would want a lighter bike. Especially on my 63cm frame.

Ultegra Rear Derailleur is strong and smooth at shifting. The Frame is strong and lightweight. Power transfers well into each push. I've put roughly 350-380 Miles on this bike so far and I love it. It was night and day different than a cheap Amazon found road bike that I originally purchased. Like many others have said about this bike, It keeps up with the $2-3K without a problem at all. I did upgrade my saddle and tires as everyone else mentioned as well and it makes a huge difference.

The bike isn't the most comfortable at longer rides. I'm 5'11 and ride a 58CM and it always feels like my reach is a little too far extended with the seat post position. I've had to adjust my saddle forward just to feel a little less stress on my upper back/shoulders and inner elbows from extending my arms so far forward for a longer amount of time. Needless to say, 20miles or less per ride are fine but any more than that is very uncomfortable. Front Derailleur is very finicky like other reviewers mentioned.

I’ve been riding this bike for well over a decade, religiously for work and leisure and fun. I’ve been hit by many cars, I fix it every time, this bike is priceless to me. Car Window Repair

Front fork could be a little more robust. Tires puncture easily by thorns.

Fits like a glove. Very fast and stiff. You feel the power on each push transferring to the ground. Now at 2021 and after many years, I still beat lots of riders on flat or slow steep terrain. It has a 53/39 configuration that is tough on slopes. I just bought a Tiagra 11/32 cassette to add some 13% easiness on the hills we have in Chile. With that I will be faster and hope not much compact babies can pass me.

The setting of the crankset is too old and not upgradeable due to the 10s. I had to lower my cassette to tiagra. I upgrades the seat and the wheels so I am at the sweet spot. I don’t plan to change it. Aluminum kicking a lot of carbon dudes.

It looks like a classic road bike with classic race geometry. At 54cm it has perfect frame triangulation. It came with an Ultegra 6600 groupset and Ultegra brakes (but I upgraded it to 6770). It has Bontrager SSR components, seat, handlebars, forks, wheels. It has an awesome 2006 Team Discovery channel livery. The decals are actually under the clear coat and the bike looks more expensive than it is. From a distance you would mistake it for a 2007 Madone. The frame is nice and stiff but not so stiff you would knock your teeth together. It's still as good as any other mid level flat top tube road bike such a a CAAD. Its very reliable and rides fast.

Its aluminum and so you pay a weight penalty. It doesn't have the strongest components if you are a heavy rider.

The look (frame shape is almost classic), frame stiffness, Cane Creek SCR3 brakes, carbon seat post, Bontrager SSR saddle, awesome painting (Discovery Channel Team),

The rims, even if are good looking are not robust at all. The rear one was replaced due to multiple cracks around spoke holes after one year of use.

Very good acceleration, very good mid level bike because of solid 105 group, frame and accessories. Over 2000 miles on it without problems (except rear rim) but I must mention that I'm a very big rider (260 lbs). Even so the frame is calculated up to 275lbs. And that's means something!

Similar Products Used:

Cross (Cube Nature) and MTB bike (Merida Matts TFS 900).

Is this legit? The bike is a 2005 model. It has significant miles, but was well maintained and sheltered. The petals are Look-type Shimano 105. The petals show wear, but function as new. The bike has a few dings, but nothing detrimental to the expected performance. Thus the asking price of only $250. The front tire is practically new, the rear tire shows some wear, but probably good for several hundred miles. The wheels are Bontrager Select. There is one dent on the top tube, but hardly visible. No paint removed or deep scratch. You probably would not notice it unless I pointed it out.

Fit. Ultegra and 105 mix are surprisingly good quality components for an entry-level race bike.

Average weight (20 lbs). Aluminum frame makes for uncomfortable century rides. Cheap saddle and tires. Weak rims. The rear stress fractured, which is a common problem with this wheel, although was replaced under warranty at no cost to me.

Purchased the bike new in May 2007. Have since rode 10,000+ miles on it. Very comfortable (after replacing the saddle) and surprisingly fast for the weight. Overall a fantastic bike for the price. Time to upgrade so am reluctantly letting go of it.

Acceleration is great. Shifts up and down very smoothly. Maintains speed well.

Probably just me adjusting from a mountain bike to a road bike, but the handle setup is a little awkward.

First road bike purchase. Couldn't be happier. Rides very well.

Fast. Light.

Improved my 16 mile daily mountain commute by 30% over a Giant hybrid. Smooth gear transitions. Light weight for price.

Trek 1500 SLR Value?

  • Add to quote

A co-worker is selling his 2007 Trek 1500. Full 27 speed 105 group, upgraded to Neuvation M28 Aero wheelset, SPD pedals, showroom clean except for 1 small scratch, needs no mechanical repairs, less than 1000 miles on the bike. Comes with Bontrager computer, frame mounted pump, and under seat bag with spares, etc. From what I've found, MSRP was about $1100 for this bike. He's asking $700. A bit high, but it's a good fit with good components and it really is "like new" (he's a bit obsessive-compulsive when it comes to his toys.). Knowing that a new decent entry level bike is going to cost more than this, where is a good price point to be at for the 1500? I'm thinking $600 but I'd like some input.  

Took another look today. It's actually a mix of 105 & Ultegra. Any input?  

I bought my 2007 1500 brand new at a year end close out for $899. It has a 105 FD and shifters with Ultegra RD and crank. It's been a good bike. I put a little over 22,000 miles on it before I bought a 2011 Madone 5.2 last year. I still have the 1500 and ride it occasionally when the weather is wet. It has upgraded tires, wheels and seat, Look Keo Classic Pedals. If I were to sell it, I'd probably list it for $500. $700 seems a little high. If you can get he price down, it's a nice bike.  

Hi, I'm looking to buy a 2007 Trek on Craigslist (i believe its a 1500 SLR) but how can you tell? I've seen similar pictures online of the Trek 1400, do you guys know what the difference is?  

It has "1500 SLR" painted on the frame. Also, if he or she gives you the serial number, you can go on the Trek website and check for sure.  

Thanks Santo, You've been very helpful.

Trek Madone SLR - The most aero bike in the Tour de France?

Prior to the Tour de France, the 2023 Trek Madone was the most significant new bike to be seen thanks to its radical aero design. But now that the bike has been released, we can take a proper look at the bike that the Trek-Segafredo team has been using in this year’s race.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 8

We don’t think it’ll surprise you to learn that an aero bike with a massive hole in the seat tube comes with a fair few aero claims attached to it. Trek says that this bike, with a rider aboard, is 60 seconds per hour faster than the previous generation thanks to new aero frame shaping, a redesigned bar/stem, and a more aero riding position.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 7

Trek explains that this bike saves 60 seconds per hour at 45km/h. What Trek means is that you'll achieve 45km more efficiently. If you ride at the same power, you'll hit 45km 60 seconds sooner.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 10

The hole in the seat tube is called IsoFlow and it is designed to improve aerodynamics, flex over bumps to smooth the ride and save weight over previous Madones. Trek says that it offers a similar level of compliance to the previous adjustable IsoSpeed system in its stiffest setting.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 3

The Madone is also lighter than ever with a frame weight of just under 1,000g and a fork weight of just over 400g.

While the claims are interesting, bike racers win bike races, not bikes and thankfully for Trek-Segafredo, they’ve got a few very handy racers. Mads Pedersen took an excellent stage win during a gruelling second week of the Tour, so let’s have a closer look at the team’s setup.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 4

Trek-Segafredo is one of just two Sram-sponsored teams in the peloton, so it’s no surprise to see that their groupset provider is providing a few special pieces for team leader Mads Pedersen.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 1

The gold chain and cassette aren't going to be seen on many Sunday club runs. You have to really fast to get this sort of bling.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 5

The team uses the top-end Red eTap AXS groupset which means wireless shifting and hydraulic disc brakes.

While the Red eTap AXS groupset introduced the 10T cog to road bikes, the Trek-Segafredo pros don’t always run this tiny cog. The thinking is that the tiny cog allows you to use smaller chainrings, which Sram says is better for general riders. But while the riders do sometimes use the 10T cogs, they generally opt for larger chainrings than Sram officially offers.

> Review: Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc

The brakes and rotors are also Sram Red and all of Trek’s riders use 160mm rotors up front and 140mm at the back.

The Sram Red groupset offers decent value for money to those of us that pay for our kit because it comes with a very good dual-sided power meter built into the crankset and this is what the Trek riders use to monitor their training and deliver the data that confirms that this has been an insanely tough Tour.

Mads Pedersen Trek Madone Gold SRAM 6

The wheelset comes from Trek’s in-house component brand Bontrager and the riders are sometimes on tubeless setups at the Tour though some still like to have their tubulars around for select days. The wheels on most riders’ bikes were the Aeolus RSL 61 though they will chop and change given the day’s profile and conditions.

The tyres are from Pirelli and when on a tubeless setup, the Trek riders use the P Zero Race in the classic colourway.

At the front of the bike, you’ll find more aero trickery from Trek with a brand new Bontrager cockpit that is specific to this bike. The shifter clamp area is narrower than the drops to give a rider a super sleek frontal profile while the drops then flare out to provide the handling feel that the pros want.

Bontrager saddles and bar tape finish each bike.

So, is this actually the most aero road bike in the Tour de France? Well, that is what Trek would like us all to think, but unless you have a wind tunnel and the cash to buy one of every road bike in this year’s race, we’re never going to find out. We certainly don’t have that sort of time or money but let us know in the comments if you do!

For the pro Trek riders, I hope it's aero AF because it appears to be the heaviest road bike in the World Tour Peloton.

Aerodynamically, it makes intuitive sense, and the suspension benefits appear simpler, lighter, and stronger than IsoSpeed decouplers or Zertz inserts. If I were a Cat 3 racing dentist I'd probably be all over this bike.

I'd love someone like Hambini to test the current crop of pro peloton bikes in a wind tunnel. Then take them apart and assess the build quality, geometry etc.

It's all at the say-so of the manufacturers and complete bollocks without an independent test done. 

In any case, a lot of people will choose their bikes on looks and that, imo, is where the new Trek falls flat on its (fugly) face. 

Avatar

I quite like it - looks good in a futuristic kinda way.   

 Not sure Hambini has the credibility to report on anything anymore.  Isn't he just another dick with a youtube channel?

I'll admit he's done himself no favours but I'd bet he's more qualified than most and has the right connections to assess aero and build qualities. Easily more qualified than many of the cycling press that's for sure.

As for the frame, I'd be very surprised if we don't see a glut of issues with that seatpost. 

How can it be strong enough to take a 100kg masher and yet give any kind of vibration damping to a 60kg racing snake? Is there a weight limit applied to the frame that we know of?

It's got a total system weight limit of 125kg.

Thanks. That's way higher than I thought it would be.

Close up with the new Trek Madone: Mads Pedersen's Tour de France bike

We take a closer look at the Trek-Segafredo rider's steed as the eagerly anticipated Trek Madone 2023 is finally revealed in Copenhagen

Trek-Segafredo Trek Madone at the Tour de France 2022

Teased as the "ultimate race bike" in the build-up to its release, Trek finally unveiled the new Madone at the Tour de France with several new features.

The most striking aspect of the design is a new IsoFlow seat tube technology that replaces the previous model's IsoSpeed system. The seat tube splits and forks outward to join the seat stays, resulting in an almost diamond-shape hole below the seat which screams out for attention.

So we took a closer look at Trek-Segafredo rider Mads Pedersen 's new bike to get to grips with the new upgrades.

The IsoFlow system not only adds compliance for a smoother ride, says Trek, but also brings gains in aerodynamics and weight-saving.

In fact Trek says the new Madone is 60 seconds per hour faster than the previous generation thanks to its new aero frame alongside a redesigned integrated handlebar and stem. The hoods on the handlebar are 3cm narrower than the drops which Trek says allows for an improved, more aero rider position.

The new Madone will come with Bontrager's Aeolus RSL 51 carbon tubeless-ready wheelset, but Pedersen's bike was fitted with deeper 62mm rims in Copenhagen.

It was also equipped with SRAM's Red eTap AXS 12-speed groupset.

Spotted at the Tour de France: Toms Skujiņš Trek Madone SLR

The Trek-Segafredo rider continues to ride selflessly in the service of others at the this year's race aboard the radically redesigned Madone

  • Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Tom Skujins Trek Madone

Trek-Segafredo’s Toms Skujiņš hit the first few stages of the Tour de France on the US brand’s new Madone SLR - the one with a hole in the seat tube . 

The WorldTour team played a considerable role in the radical frame design, asking Trek's engineers to create a faster and lighter Madone. All involved were rewarded with Mads Pedersen's stage 13 win in Saint-Etienne. His impressive victory, equal parts speed, strength and guile, was a fitting tribute to a bike also born from plenty of smart thinking.

However, Pedersen's success owed much to his teammates support, something with Skujiņš is adept at providing. On stage 15 to Carcassone, ridden in brutal temperatures that hit 40 degrees, the Latvian exemplified the need for watercarriers as well as stars by fitting 11 bidons down his race jersey, before distributing them to his grateful team. 

Tom Skujins Trek Madone at the 2022 Tour de France

Given the size of the hole in the Madone seat tube he could have possible secured bottle number 12 in the frame. 

The odd cutout is called IsoFlow, and it replaces Trek’s adjustable ISoSpeed decoupler that allowed for fore/aft flex of the seatpost for comfort. IsoFlow supposedly offers just as much compliance while eliminating around 300 grams from the overall weight of the bike.

Cockpit detail of Tom Skujins Trek Madone at the 2022 TdF

That’s not the only change on the new Madone. A redesigned cockpit system gets riders into a more ergonomic position, with flared drops and slightly sloped tops with narrower hoods. 

Note the ergonomic shaping on the bar tops. The shape and direction more closely mirrors the natural bend of the wrists.The integrated stem also got redesigned, but Skujiņš is not using the integrated stem here. 

Cockpit of Tom Skujins' Trek Madone

Skujiņš is able to run a non-integrated stem by swapping out the headset cap, a neat feature of the new Madone that will appeal to those who like to choose their own bars and stem. Skujiņš set-up is probably a decision based on his bike fit data.

Trek partners with Wahoo, and Skujiņš has an Elemnt Bolt out front with a tether cord for safety.

Tom Skujuins Trek Madone with Sram Red eTap groupset

Trek-Segafredo riders roll on a suite of SRAM Red eTap AXS components. Skujiņš has opted for a 54/41 chainring combo on his SRAM crankset, along with a Quarq power meter. 

Also note here the 'tall' bottom bracket area, reshaped on the new Madone to reduce the distance between BB and bottle cage, which improves aerodynamics and helps to save a watt or two.

Detail of Tom Skujins Trek Madone

Skujiņš told us he’s running a 10-28 cassette in combination with his 54/41 chainring setup, which gives him an absolutely huge top gear should he find himself spinning out at 70kph.

Bontrager’s Aeolus RSL 62 wheels get wrapped in Pirelli tubeless tires on Skujiņš’s Madone. Skujins says he has tubulars at his disposal, but he has opted for tubeless tires and reported that has had good experiences on them for some time. 

Tom Skujins at the 2022 Tour de France

Skujiņš heads into the final week of the tour in 89th position overall. He'll be required to continue his domestique role as his Trek-Segafredo team search for further success.

This is perhaps most likely to come on stage 19, when the race leaves the Pyrenees. It's a classic transition stage, where the depleted number of pure sprinters left in the race could aid the speedy Pedersen at the finish in Cahors. However, Skujiņš, the current Latvian ITT champ, will get a chance to end his 2022 TdF in style on the following day, a 40.7km race against the clock, which could also decide the final destination of the yellow jersey.

From our tour. Impressions of our American tourist:

Arriving at the Kremlin (which means “fortress”) made of its red brick walls, our guide noted the “swallowtail” border at the top of the wall that surrounds the 2km distance of the wall, a result of the style of the Italian architects hired for this job.

While our guide went to secure our pre-ordered tickets to see the Armory Chamber and the Diamond Fund, we admired the abundant hydrangeas.  It was this destination that spurred Linda and me to seek a private tour guide....Viking was NOT going to take us to the Diamond Fund....

Understandably, since the space is too small to manage 200 people, even if we are divided into 'subgroups.'  And, I am so glad we did not miss it.  Fabergé eggs are always on my list of favorite things, and I was delighted to see some I had never seen in the 3 other exhibits I have visited in the US. 

The collection of royal garments, the extensive collection of impressive pieces of silver (that tarnish to a lovely dull gold hue....not black as my silver does....how does THAT happen??) used for serving or given as gifts or used in religious worship; armaments, including intricately inlaid rifles and sets of armor and chain mail; and royal carriages.  I would not have been happy if we had not seen this collection. 

We made our way into Cathedral Square, the Kremlin’s ancient center framed by three large cathedrals in the old Russian style, the Imposing Ivan the Great Belltower, and the Palace of Facets, and the church of the 12 Apostles (because of the number of onion domes). 

The 3 cathedrals are: Annunciation Cathedral (late 1490's); Assumption Cathedral (early 15th C.); Archangel Cathedral (early 16th C.).  Our guide explained that the 3 cathedrals represented a type of 'circle of life'....daily prayer/bread taken at Annunciation Cathedral; where the heads were crowned at Assumption Cathedral, and a place of final rest for the royalty and patriarchs at Archangel Cathedral.

These cathedrals do not function as places of worship....they are museums....period!  There is no sanctuary space....there are small rooms; also, larger rooms whose high, elaborately painted ceilings rise into a dome where the face of Christ looks down upon you; and rooms with massive altarpiece art. 

I am amazed they survive, considering where the relegation of religion after the Revolution.  Thank goodness they do....the frescoes, the art, the icons are expansive and impressive.  We were not allowed to photograph; so sorry.

The Ivan the Great Bell Tower is 263-ft. high; although in place since 1329, this modern version dates from 1600.  No building was allowed to be taller than it was in that time. 

Had we stayed with the ship's itinerary today, the only noteworthy sightseeing we would have done of the Kremlin is the Tsar's Bell and the Tsar's Cannon.  Yes, they are huge.  No, neither ever 'worked.'  A wayward drop of cold water on the hot metal silenced the big bell for the ages; and the Tsar's Cannon was never fired.  Yes, we were glad we were with Inna and seeing so much more. 

What you get:

  • + A friend in Moscow.
  • + Private & customized Moscow three day tour.
  • + An exciting pastime, not just boring history lessons.
  • + An authentic experience of local life.
  • + Flexibility during the tour: changes can be made at any time to suit individual preferences.
  • + Amazing deals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the very best cafes & restaurants. Discounts on weekdays (Mon-Fri).
  • + A photo session amongst spectacular Moscow scenery that can be treasured for a lifetime.
  • + Good value for souvenirs, taxis, and hotels.
  • + Expert advice on what to do, where to go, and how to make the most of your time in Moscow.
