Wo2W also has a Trek. Not sure on the flappy jersey jersey part.
As for myself, not too many of my jerseys are flappy as we exit winter.

I don't have a Trek. I would not turn one down if offered one, of course.
I did have a floppy jersey, if anyone recalls, the 100th edition Giro d'Italia jersey was too big. I gifted it to a fellow cyclist, actually the one who loaned/gave me the Reynolds wheels.

So is that effectively a cartridge bb inside there?

I find it difficult to believe they are truly handmade.

...they mostly look like this on the drive side:
But it's one of those Shimano things that's in constant flux, and there's no real universal standard.
The spacer would go between that bearing unit that's partially unscrewed (or maybe pushed out) and the shell face.
A lot of them have limited adjustability because of the length of the spindle, which is integral with the drive side crank. Somebody thought this was a good idea and everyone jumped in line.
Probly rjones or lester knows more than me. I only know I don't want one.

Guys. The Domane doesn't have a Hollowtech BB. It has a BB90 that accepts Hollowtech cranksets. This is what a NDS looks like with a BB90 and Hollowtech cranks -
I assumed that I needed a couple few mm additional clearance, but that that's not necessarily a safe assumption as interior of the chainrings were already resting on the frame surfaces. Regardless, subtracting 3mm from the spindle, as seen above, isn't a gamble that I'm going to take.

You and I have the same model Trek, just 18 years apart. I only wear floppy jerseys.

They're fun.
I wonder what the rules are for saying a product is handmade? Robots don't make tyres now? I find that hard to believe.

Related: I get a message to call the witch doctor about my appointment next week. I call in and the receptionist asks if I want to move my appointment up a day because they're going to move to Maryville.
wut
My other witch doctors were in Maryville. I do not want to drive to Maryville again. What a pain in the butt.

Trek, Specialized, Giant, Cannondale, etal are a good value and all make good solid products
No one should never be ashamed of owning one.
Having said that, I own a lot of boutique products that I’m not ashamed of either anymore than someone owning high end knives, photo equipment, watches, etc.
I saw a few $12k Pinarello K8s, full Super Record, in the Villages in Florida. Assume they were owned by retired dentists.
