My current ride is a 58 and it seems just a touch too small. I shortened the stem by 2 cm and my knees almost hit the bars when I am out of the saddle. Most fitting guides put me in a 60 as my cycling inseam is a bit over 36 inches and I'm over 6'1". I

I'm def gonna test ride something thats gonna cost almost 7K.

yep, it is the ALR frame, 2016 version, first year they came out. I was in the LBS one day and they had just gotten some of the ALR's, and I was intrigued to see how they rode. When they opened the box an I saw the Viper Red, I told them, just put the box in my truck . I replaced the bars, stem, and seatpost with FSA SL-K, and I replaced the 5800 105 with Ultegra 6800 I pulled from a frame I was getting rid of. I also replaced the rear mech with a long cage for when I go to the hills so I can run some larger tooth cassettes. I absolutely love this bike, very light, weighs in just under 16 lbs, very smooth riding, in fact, it feels better than some carbon frames I have had. Has spacing for 28mm tires, even with the 6800 brakes. I live in the flat lands of Florida, so I generally stick to 28 tooth or less cassettes and rarely ever use the 23,25, or 28 teeth unless I am going over specific bridges locally. I recently put the Pirelli P Zero Race tires on it...they are very nice.

The fence is Cypress that was a tree one day in Southern Georgia and my fence the next day in Jacksonville. The panels weighed about 200 lbs each with all the moisture they had in them. I painstakingly applied a semi transparent light walnut using a 4" stain brush about 2 months later after it had dried out a little. I had 300 linear ft to do, most was board on board, but this section of is about 65 ft and took me a week by itself, but I thought it came out fantastic.

I’m the same height with a 35 inch inseam. I road. 60cm before. A 60cm in the Domane had too much seat post. Just saying go try. I too pushed back.

At least with Trek even if you order they have a 30 day return policy.

I also went down a size for my Domane from a normal 54 to a 52.

My height is 6' and my cycling inseam is 36 inches so I have almost the same proportions as you. I ride a size 58 Domane SL5, but took a different approach to shorten the reach. I kept the 100mm stem but swapped out the stock 100mm reach handlebars for short 75mm reach handlebars, so no issues with my knees almost hitting the bars when I'm out of the saddle.

What do you mean by too much seat post ? This info is very relevant because I suffered a very serious (almost fatal) neck injury in December and I can't crane my neck up to see ahead of me in an aero position. I literally broke my neck and dislocated my head!! I have to use a more upright position and size will be very important. After about 2-3 hours on my 2.3 my neck is feeling it so fit will be crucial. I figure an endurance geometry us what I need. I can mountain bike with far less pain but am a roadie at heart.

Not sure if these high-end road bikes are different, but I can tell you that my large LBS isn't getting any 2022 FX3s until April 2022, and arrival of the 2022 FX Sport Carbon 4 is currently unknown. These bikes were ordered months ago. They told me that orders placed now are scheduled to be fulfilled in November 2022. They showed me these dates on their online order page.

The main hold up are the components from Shimano and SRAM and some tires. Frames seem to be in high supply.

There are two "seat mast" sizes for the current Trek Domane - short and tall. Size 56 and below bikes come standard with the short seat mast. Size 58 and above bikes come standard with the tall seat mast. It's listed in the specs if you look closely, but other than that Trek hasn't done a very good job of making this fact clear to potential buyers. Many shop staff don't realize it either.

"I’m the same height with a 35 inch inseam. <> A 60cm in the Domane had too much seat post."

I assume this means the tall "seat mast" combined with the size 60 seat tube meant the saddle couldn't be lowered enough to accommodate his inseam. Swapping out the tall seat mast for a short seat mast would have likely rectified this.

When I test road a 56cm they put on a tall seat mast. With the 58cm the tall is almost too tall. For a 60 cm I needed a short. But you are correct Trek is not very clear on the sizing and the seat mast. For my 58ccm I may go to a 110mm stem in the future. The stock 100mm is a tad short. Still deciding.
