Consumer Product Review: 2008 Trek Madone Line Road Bikes for Men

Personal Experience Reveals Why This Bike is a Standout

Not only do we ride bikes but many of our friends and family members do too. As any experienced user of road bikes can tell you, it can take awhile to find the right bicycle as well as the proper clothing and bike accessories to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Road bikes can be especially tricky, since the qualities that generally make them desirable don't always create a comfortable ride.

In our experience, the Trek Madone Line is a noteworthy standout from other road bikes. Before purchasing one, my husband visited a local bike store in order to take a test drive. We were curious about how the Trek Madone would stack up to other road bikes.

Trek 2008 Madone: Basic Information

We'd done our research and even read some basic reviews of this bike and knew the newest design had taken over two years to create. Other road biking enthusiasts have raved about this bike. We'd heard it was sleeker and different than before.

Now it was time to find out for ourselves. For those unfamiliar with Trek Madones, I'd just like to add that it has a sloping top tube, eye-popping appeal and a former connection to Lance Armstrong. Veteran bicyclists probably know this but those who are getting a new road bike or looking to move up to an upscale one may not be aware of the aesthetics of the Trek. That was a definite draw for us, one that has gotten raves and comments from other cyclists.

Trek has always done an excellent job of making an excellent bike built for racing (having Lance Armstrong on board to help market their bikes didn't hurt) but since Armstrong's retirement, the company could decide to do the "same old, same old" or move in a different direction. They've decided to make some changes.
We couldn't believe the differences! The new bike doesn't even resemble the older version! Oddly, the 2008 Madone looks larger but has some special features we found appealing.
