TREK DOMANE; MEN'S 56 CM FRAME
Sold by Lou Schleifer
$3,950
This Trek Domane was purchased in 2019, and ridden some for about a year, before I bought a sleeker/faster road bike: the Giant TCR. Since that time, I've only been riding this Domane on the rollers.
This bike has the (electronic) Force groupset. When I purchased it, I upgraded the seat. I also switched out the tires for 32mm, to better enable riding on rough surfaces. But the tires have tubes installed. Pedals are NOT included in Sale price.
The category of this model is 'Endurance', which signifies something less than racing performance on the road, but more comfort over the long haul including not just smooth surfaces but also rough ones.
If you're undecided between wanting to stay with a road bike but entertaining the idea of exploring some introductory gravel riding, then this is the bike for you. And it's perfectly outfitted to get you up-and-riding on both types of terrain. I would be keeping it for exactly this purpose, if not for the fact that I ending up going exclusively into gravel riding, and have purchased gravel-specific bikes.
