    Hi Richard.

    Forgive me contacting you, but you're obviously familiar with Trek and I can get unbiased information. I am buying a (run out etc.) 2011 Madone 5.2. (H2) I'm 69 y.o. and a recreational rider.

    Trek state that TCT is OCLV 'made in Taiwan.' Fair enough. But it doesn't tell me what grade of carbon is used at that pricepoint - 3,4,500 or whatever.

    The new 2012 bikes are all labelled OCLV but many would be made in Taiwan. TCT has disappeared - where'd it go?.

    I don't see 'TCT' being any kind of issue but I'm curious as to how it's been renamed and what to?

    The other issue is the BB90. Some Forums report this to be a real problem area. Is it?

    I'm looking forward to picking up the bike next week - it's at the LBS waiting for a short reach handlebar.

    My 'LBS" is Cadel Evans local bike shop and we'll get no sleep in the next fortnight because here in Oz the end of each stage of the TDF is broadcast live from 6pm to 2 am.

    Regards, Paul W, Portland Australia
