To me, it sounds like trek is trying to access a particular area of the market place. This is good for any company that desires to maintain it's market share and continue to grow.
Specialized has the Roubaix, now trek has this in their quiver. Good for them. Perhaps this will mean more manufacturing back here at home.
Curious to see how the bearing system works exactly.
Wonder if Volagi will file a suit?

I don't understand the negative comments toward Trek. Picking a bike is mostly fit and feel. If one feels best on a Trek...so be it.
Ever ridden a Madone? Before I bought my last 6.2 Madone I rode a Speclalized, 2 Bianchis, a Felt, a Cervelo, and a Cannondale. All considered similar to the 6.2 Madone. I thought my Madone felt the best of all, hands down. I really wanted to help out my local LBS and buy Bianchi but there was no comparison.
If you don't like Trek, ok, many do. You don't have to like Trek just as I don't have to feel comfortable on your favorite bike.
I think its a good idea; added compliance is always a plus. Cancellara looks good and the ad is somewhat inspiring. I'm pretty much not interested in anything made of CF..but for those who are, it may be of interest.
On rewatching the ad, I couldn't help but notice how rather small and ugly the bike looks next to Fabian. I mean, he looks good, but the way the pros are fitted nowadays...their bikes always look ridiculously small. But thats another point altogether.
I can clearly understand the passion in supporting your favorite brand, but passion in slamming another? Kind of weird. To each, thier own.
I can understand even having a passion for dislike (I have one for specialized). The part I don't get it the need to post crap on a forum. If you don't like them fine. It doesn't mean you have to post negative about a topic someone is trying to get some genuine feedback on. A little self control would go a long way on the internets.

Yes someone call Trek and tell them they just wasted thousands of dollars and man hours in r&d because your mid 80's bike will possibly handle like this thing. Give your head a shake

Yup, and Cannondale has the Synapse. I'm sure the initiative has something to do with Cancellara being on the Trek team. He needed a bike for the Classics and the Madone is not it.
Doesn't look at all boring to me: the shaping of the frame and its tubes as well as the inserts shows quite a few interesting ideas, IMO. Shame that FC's injured.
