Of course you’d expect this in a bike that is topline, and at around $4700US, this bike definitely hangs with some elite company. There’ll be lot’s of time for riding later. Sure it’s light, lightest in the world according to Trek, and with a full bike weight under 16 pounds (size: 54cm), who’s to argue? But the finish on the joints, the curves, the depth of that paint – makes ya say “ooooh baby”! Every joint is seamless, the smooth finish begs for a coat of wax lest it become dirty, and like a fine single malt, you must first behold the beauty, savour it, appreciate the hours of craftsmanship that created it. The Trek 5900, 2003 model, delivers everything a refined roadie expects, but also a lot more.Īesthetcially, the standout feature on this baby has got to be the frame – it’s a thing ‘o beauty. As geometries, technical and weight advantages become more standardized, it’s the details that start to make a bigger difference to satisfaction of ownership.
One of the best things about being a roadie is the level of refinement to which we can become accustomed.
