Yes, you've heard me correctly, about a month ago I became the proud owner of a TREK MADONE 6.9. For those of you that don't know, this is the exact same frame that the one and only Lance Armstrong rides on. Combined with my Bontrager 6.5 Aeoleus wheels she sure looks sleek. With the chunky carbon rims (as shown below) the bike comes in at a very creditable 7.1kg's ! I have some carbon Bouwmeester wheels in the pipeline which weigh 1200grams for the pair, so when they're clipped on, the bike will be under UCI limit - gotta be happy about that. Should make those hilly Northern Combine races a little bit easier.
Many special thanks to Rapido and of course TREK BIKES for giving me this upgrade.
This is a quick update, before the weekend I'll add what I have been doing since X-mas, How my Ironman preperation has gone, some exciting stuff that is happening today and tomorrow (Mon 23rd & Tues 24th March) and probably most importantly, how the jigsaw is fitting together for my BIG race this year - The Melbourne to Warrnambool.
Until then Train safe, Train HARD - Matty
