Trek's New Madone

The New Madone debuted with two podium spots in the '07 Tour de France. The new Madone offers a surprisingly silky ride for a frame that's this stiff. Every pedal stroke translates into power transfer, not wasted energy. It climbs like a rocket and descends with confidence. The design includes:

	A new, super stiff 90mm bottom bracket that still works with all the major crank brands
	Trek's first all-carbon fork, with a steerer that's 1 1/8" on top and 1 1/2" on the bottom
	A new seat mast/post that does NOT require cutting the seat tube for fit
	Trek's lightest-ever frame/fork/headset/seatpost interface

Trek still uses three grades of carbon, only now they're color-coded instead of number-coded. All these innovations have happened with virtually no increase in price.
