I love my carbon bike. I have the Madone, not the 5000, but I'm sure the feel is somewhat the same.

I've put on over 1200 miles since I got it at the end of April, and my body is loving it. I am so much more comfortable on this bike.

There are alot of parkway roads around here that have way too many unavoidable potholes. Everything on the bike is holding up just fine. I'm more careful how I lean it against things because of the special paint job, but other than that I don't baby it.

I'm looking forward to many happy miles on my Trek.
