Selling this one for $3649. Buyer pays packing via local Trek store ($75 flat rate) and shipping via BikeFlight. Reason for selling: This bike was one size too big for me, after getting a formal fit done (and looking at about 40 different makes and models) my fitter put me in a 52 cm H1.5 Emonda. A few details about this bike, first, it’s been meticulously cared for. I’ve never turned a single bolt without using a torque wrench to torque it to factory specs (this is really critical for carbon). I used Smoove lube (about the best drip lube you can get in terms of extending drivetrain life) up until December 2020 when I switched to Molten Speed Wax (doesn’t really get any better than that, triples chain life and dramatically extends the life of the rest of the drive train). Chain recently checked with a Park CC3.2 and it hasn’t hit 0.5%. As for the rest of the drive train, for 2021 I swapped out the stock 172.5mm Ultegra crank for a 165mm Dura Ace so there are hardly any miles on the stock crank for 2021 (I’ve reinstalled the stock Ultegra 172.5mm crank). At that time I also switched from an 11-28 cassette to an 11-30 cassette so the stock Ultegra cassette also hasn’t been used since February 2021 (I’ve reinstalled the stock 11-28 cassette). Shortly after buying the bike I also swapped out the saddle and this year I swapped out the saddle mast (shorter setback). The stock saddle has been reinstalled and doesn’t have much use (and I’ve also reinstalled the factory saddle mast). Cable housings and cables were replaced this year. I’ve rewrapped the handlebars with brand new Brooks bar tape (I’d also swapped the bars out to 40 cm bars which fit me better, the stock 42 cm Bontrager bars have been reinstalled). So to recap, since I bought the bike (I’m the original owner), the crank, cassette, saddle, saddle mast, and handlebars were sitting on a shelf for about half of the time I’ve had it as I’d swapped them out for different components in attempt to get the bike to fit me better. Derailleur housings and cables were replaced this year. The chain was replaced last year (original, Ultegra HG701), and new handlebar tape was installed when changing back to the stock bars. The stock tires have maybe 150 miles on them. I’ve reinstalled them along with brand new tubes. Also, this year I bought a second set of wheels so I haven’t been riding the stock wheels much this year. Both front and rear brake pads have been replace with L03As, and the front rotor has also been recently replaced with an Ultegra rotor. Cosmetic blemishes… on the head tube there’s some minor rub marks from the brake/derailleur cables rubbing. Also (you can see it in the photo of the front chainrings) there’s a little scratch from chain suck on the chain stay… purely cosmetic and it’s normally hidden by the cranks. Since I made a move from the 2020 Emonda to the 2021, I can comment on some of the differences (there are no major changes from 2021 to 2022 model years). The geometry between the 2020 and 2022 is different. The 2020 Emonda has the more relaxed H2 geometry. If you’re looking for something a little more friendly for long distance rides, and a little more forgiving over bumps, the H2 is that. The H1.5 geometry is a bit more aggressive. It sacrifices comfort for handling. It’s also more aero. I can’t say I notice a huge difference there. We’re splitting hairs (maybe you'll save 5 minutes over 100 miles if that, if you're racing on the Pro/1/2 level you might be concerned, otherwise the difference is trivial). Both of them climb equally well. Component wise Trek appears to have slightly downgraded the wheel set on the 2022 model. Instead of the Aeolus Pro 3 wheels, the current 2021/22 model has the Aeolus Elite 35. Total weight for that wheel set is 1685 grams vs the Aeolus Pro 3 which is 1600 grams even. Not a huge difference but worth mentioning. The 2022 is also heavier. The 2020 in a 56 cm size weighs 17.3 pounds, vs. the 2022 which is 17.7 pounds (Trek’s reported weights). Finally they’ve switched from a compact 50/34 crankset with an 11-28 cassette to a 53/39 with an 11-30 cassette. Personal opinion, since I like to climb, I prefer the 34x28 over the 39x39. It’s a slightly lower gear ratio. In all my riding I’ve never said to myself “gee, I wish I had a higher gear for pedaling downhill.” It is 100% all the time “crap, I ran out of gears, I wish I had one more lower gear.” So, if you want better climbing gears on the 2022 model, you're looking at swapping out the front chainrings at $204, plus labor to install them, and reposition/adjust the front derailleur. I was actually running an 11-30 cassette with the compact rings to get an even lower gear ratio. If you do that with the current model year you'd have to buy both the front chainrings, and the rear cassette. So that’s it. I’d prefer a local sale but if I ship it, the buyer pays packing fees in addition to the listed price (I’ll have it packed at the local Trek store in Nashua, NH, they charge $75) and then you can send a BikeFlight label after they give the dimensions.
