Trek’s funky new bike that Lance rode in the Dauphine and will be riding in the tour is called the Madone 5.9, named after the Col de la Madone… Lance’s test climb near Nice that he uses to prove that he’s ready for the Tour.
Not even a name that beautiful can make up for a frame so ugly. Let the flames begin. 
i am with our man gerard on this one, 100%. that thing looks like it was penned by a committee - in wisconsin, no less !! complete air ball,- missed the rim and everything in front of God and everybody, in the looks dept, did the evil T on that thing. horrible. they should have, at least left the tt sloping.
on the other side of the coin we have the 2.5. understated yet provacative, proportionally right, classically good looking within the sloping tt pardigm, wicked a$$ killer looking. yeah boy - i would f-ing like one. nice job.
