I rode the new '08 Trek Madone

[melissam]

Well, I had my fling with the Madone. I guess it's really "Mad One" - my bad boy affair before I commit, yah??
It's back with the shop....and I ordered and ID8!!! Yikers!!!

Mad One -- that's really good! Well, I'm glad you got to sow your wild biking oats before settling down with the ID8.

When do you think the ID8 will be ready? What kind of components are you thinking of? Are you going to put on a snazzy red SRAM cassette (ala BikerZ)? Can't wait to see the pics when the ID8 comes in.

ID8 won't be ready soon enough!
6-8 weeks is my guess.
To save some $$, I'm transferring most of the drivetrain and my handlebars over from my existing bike....FSA compact crankset - the rest DuraAce, and Easton carbon bars. Probably no snazzy red SRAM cassette - just a Shimano 10-spd road group - 12-25. Chris King headset, Seven fork. Stem and seatpost are up in the air - probably more Easton carbon. I'll go for the basic black and silver look. Maybe a splash of color on the headset from www.purelycustom.com.
I can't wait!
