While prepping for a FB live class this week on steering, I happened to look up the geometry for the 2020 TREK Domane. Here's the latest and newest development in the race world:
"First and foremost, consider the tire size. The original Domane came with 25mm-wide tires, but the new Domane has 32mm-wide ones as standard equipment, with Trek’s official blessing for tires up to 38mm-wide front and rear. When fenders are installed to the neatly hidden mounts, that figure creeps down to a still-generous 35mm." Hmm, sounds an awful lot like the spec for the 2003 Rambouillet :) Mine came with 32mm rubber and can take up to 1 1/2" too!. That Grant, such a trailblazer!

Tailwinds,

Mike Sinyard, stealing great ideas since 1981!

Maybe they had lunch & Grant enlightened him. Just don't expect friction shifting from Specialized any time soon.

Well the bike is a Trek. Although they do all look the same 😁

I was about to say "great, now there will be more normal reach brakes on the market", then I realized it's probably got disk brakes. Oh, and forget friction, it's probably built for electric shifting only with no cable stops at all.
