Well since posting that this morning, I went to the LBS so Dh could try the Madone and surprise, surprise, they actually had a Madone 5.1 in! A month ago I had been told that trek had stopped production and we wouldn't be getting any more in Canada at all. So I had given up on that one and had focussed on the Ruby Expert instead. (Which I like but not the colour...). Anyway, I took the 4.7 out for a spin to see how the fit was and now I just have to decide if I want the 4.7 or the 5.1 which they can get in for me within the week if I want. The 5.1 has OCLV carbon and a different seatpost, the 4.7 has TCT carbon and a regular, more adjustable seatpost. Both are pretty but I prefer the 5.1 colour a bit more. Thw 5.1 is $150 more. (The Ruby is about $500 than the 5.1)
So..... I will decide tomorrow I think. (I'm actually going to try the System Six tomorrow too.) Dh loved the Madone 5.2 as well. He was going back and forth between the Roubaix and the Madone.
