I have never heard a bad word about the Domane. Took one on an extended test ride and came this close, (as I hold my thumb and index finger about a millimeter apart), of purchasing it. Dealer offered me an outstanding price too. Only reason I didn't purchase is that I didn't need a second endurance/distance/comfort/century bike. If the need were there, I'm purchase one without a second thought. I'd bet that if not now, very soon, the Domane will be Trek's top selling carbon "racing" frame. The kids and racers will still get a Madone or that new frame that just came out, but the masses will get a Domane. Trek should really put Cancellera on the payroll. He has probably "sold" more Domane bikes than anyone.



On the triple . . . a new crank, FD, long-cage RD, and left shifter will take care of that. The frame will handle it.

In my stable, I only have one triple left, (the Madone), and don't ride it much anymore. A compact with a 12-28 on most of my bikes and an 11-32 on the KOBH take care of my low gear needs. Sure, there are gaps in the gear ratios, but I don't race and rarely do I not find a comfortable gear that doesn't work for where I am at any particular time. Usually once on every ride I wish I had that 52 or 53 crank, but if I'm going that fast where I'm spinning out, I'll just coast at that time.
