Thanks man...yeah, my buddies all make fun of me with the tilted saddle. I've had it at several diff angles and this is what's most comfortable for me...What ever works I guess...

Hope you enjoy the bike.... Put many miles on it???

Have about 300 miles on it....barely broken in. I must say though. Very smooth ride. Very stiff and responsive yet smooth and comfy at the same time. Feels real good on the flats but I really feel the excellent performance of this machine when climbing and sprinting! Of course I'm coming off riding a 1998 aluminum Lemond. Very nice when I bought it but 10 years later the bikes are so much sweeter...

Wow, I love it! Color is sweet too!

very nice... I can't wait to get a carbon frame bike

Oh, I get it but Trek doesn't make a comfy saddle?

Oh, I get it but Trek doesn't make a comfy saddle?Yeah...tried several saddles including a few trek. This saddle seems to work best for me. May be a little heavier but I'm willing to sacrifice a few grams for comfort...:D

QCW
ahh....I sure we passed each other on the parkway...

very nice bike.....i like da handlebar tape.....not seen ppl using it around here :D

Very nice bike! I don't know how that saddle tilt is comfortable for you. Seems like your arms would get tired holding you in the seat. I am getting a Madone 5.2 Pro next year.
