New Trek and Lemond

Found this link to some of the new Treks and Lemonds.

Lemond actually has a tri bike that at least looks cool. Actually, 2 of em. And the P-51 scheme looks real nice. It'd be cooler on the TTX though.

I'm just glad to see that someone was able to get some good photos in that room. I sure didn't have much luck.

Agreed, with all the resources Trek and Lemond have at their disposal, a weak offering such as this should not even be made. If you are going to enter the triathlon market, do it right and offer a competitive design. Admittidly, I know little about tri-bike design. But any bike with an 'aero' seat tube cut that is inches from the back wheel and aero-bar pads that high is a weak offering.

Now that I know some of you guys look through the special needs bags for kicks, I'm gonna put some really weird stuff in mine. I can see it now.

..talk about product manager asleep at the wheels.

First of all what's with the 45 cm (or thereabout) chainstay (or am I viewing a 650 bike with a 42 cm chainstay). There is no aero benefit in the rear end. This results in a really poor rear cutout. may as well just go with round tubes with that much spacing in the rear end.

And the front end component selection...sure... put a small headtube on and then spec it with a stem and aerobars that automatically add 12 cm of stack !!!!

Fix these two mistakes, and the bike looks good to go.

I like the two single speeds, My next bike will be a fixed gear so I'm starting to daydream.

I love my steel/oclv Lemond road bike and a lot of roadies really love Lemonds, but when it comes to making a tri/TT bike, you'd think these guys would be a bit more clued in.

Agree with all the comments on their tri offerings -- what was the point of that.

But that T-1 track bike is very svelte. Sexy.

And the Bontrager brake levers.
