1. Is this a Trek advert ? Sounds like he's reading the marketing / salesman pitch, rather than talking naturally.
   @ 2:46 " And we reckon it would retail at somewhere above £9000 ??? " .... Not they paid £9000 for it, so if you ever wanted evidence that cycling journalists are given freebies from manufacturers, this could be it.
2. how Carlos ??
3. bla bla bla
4. can someone please share what color blue is shown in the example? I want to say "powder blue" off the project one option list, but not certain. please chime in if you can clarify what color
5. Sempre piu brutte
6. the future of the road bike and so so aero
7. awesome
8. Yeah , you''ll afford it when you''ll sell a kidney or something similar .
9. can't touch one of these bikes for less than 7,500.00 dollars... Are you kidding... I don't think their worth all that money... and 12,500.00 for the Factory Racing model... I'll pass... I do own a Domane 6.2 disc... I paid under 5k, (before taxes) but even that is robbery. I have to say, it's a lovely ride, but not worth what I paid for it! Just saying!
10. "So what we have here is a *picture* of the Trek Madone 9 Series..." 
    
    You don't actually appear to have the Trek, just reading the spec sheet and talking about it whilst zooming in and out of a picture of one!
11. 9000 ....are we kidding?  Road biking is becoming a joke.  The basic diamond frame shape hasn't changed one bit and carbon fiber is no longer an exotic material.  Carbon frames are cheaply mass produced in Asia and these bikes cost nowhere near their asking prices.  Even after figuring R&D, please.  The Aero "revolution" is marketing hype.  The rider and different positions, different weights, wind/speed angles, etc etc make comparisons impossible.  I don't care about wind tunnels  Check out every manufacturer of aero bikes and they all say the same bs..."fastest (as if the frame is fast, not the rider), stiffest but compliant (my favorite), efficient..."blah, blah, blah.  I can see if eventually the cost is maybe $2000 but anything north of there is ludicrous.  And before anyone comments about what a downer I am, I love bikes, too.  I have four, carbon, titanium, and my favorite, steel with round tubes.  I am a cat 2 road racer and can blow almost anyone away on one of these with my SOMA fab steel bike.
12. Maybe take the sunglasses off and actually look at the camera....?
13. Please guys give it a rest with the marketing blurb!
    
    The chap just sounds like he's reading from a sheet that Trek have given to him.
    
    Do us readers/watchers justice with a unique video rather than all the advertising Trek want all the media to do.
14. 4:3??? Is this 2010 again or what?
15. Is that a buzz saw in the background? Could you find nowhere quieter? But nice bike.
16. At first glance the integrated front brake cover pivoting outwards is a design "flaw" to give some clearance when the handlebar is turned from side to side? I don't see the aero advantage having this do-hickey the way it is.
