sadly, the needle flys past 200 when i sit on the bike ......

That's pretty awesome! It's a real testament to Carl and his team at Trek.

Is this the 9-series or 7-series? It looks like you have a tall/far stem (although it's kind of hard to tell), do you know what the weight difference is between the different stem options. It's aluminum, so I can't imagine that it's a huge difference.

So far, after about 9 months with the 2014 7.5, I've been really happy with mine.

LOL!!! Still good to know that it is not only aero, it's also light.

Carl and his team did an amazing job.

This is a 9 series Ultegra build. I have ordered a set of Dura Ace 9000 cranks to put on it.

The stem is a tall/near, but it's the wrong stem. The new mid/near should be here tomorrow along with my Aeolus 9 D3's.
