I thought of you this week while in Springfield, Mo where a shop had a Madone 5.2 WSD in a 52 with blackwalls! However, it was a double and was gone two days later when we went back to buy a torque wrench. I really love my 5.2 and think you will have a ball with yours. Congrats on the new ride!!!

We just got a line on a a very reasonably priced 5.5 (my understanding is that the geometry is the same as the 5.2) frame. I am currently in a 2.1 WSD. We're twins!
How do the 2.1 and the 5.2 compare in geometry? Pretty similar?Trek Madone - 5.5 -Brooks B-17

Hey twin!
I stared at the geometry charts until my head swam. The fitter said geometry from 2.1 to Madone is very similar, except for a taller head tube (more relaxed geometry of H3/WSD). As I recall, the only reason I didn't look for 5.5 was $500 price difference and I didn't like the color
