Comment from : @WhiteVaille

Thanks for the review, Even I am of the opinion that Trek Domane is better than the other 2 bikes

Wow that background music is horrific
Comment from : @TheMacmilIer

Why isn’t the Giant Contend included here? Notable but its absence
Comment from : @theunfinishedarticle

For the price of a trek domane you can get a rose blend with hydraulic discs, tiagra and its built in germany These bikes are a scam
Comment from : @cooltwittertag

In what universe is £1000 cheap? You can buy a car for that I know things have got more expensive, but a consequence of that is we're all poorer, and spending our remaining cash on food
Comment from : @theoceansswitch

Not sure why you guys only looked at the Domane--I just picked up an FX3 which basically specs out almost identical to the Domane AND has hydraulic brakes I was lucky enough to find a gen 3 (which runs about $150-200 less than the current gen 4)

90 is your lungs and legs 10 is bike end of story
Comment from : @faisalalharthy746

1000 dollars for a bike? This hobby is too expensive
Comment from : @douglepong

The Pinnacle looks like a more traditional road bike of old to me Aside from the obvious rim brakes, just the tube shapes Its a good looking bike
Comment from : @hardeho

wot no decathlon ?
Comment from : @bedcurt

Upgraded my Al 2 with 105 groupset and hydrology brakes Next upgrade is a set of R3 28mm tyres
Comment from : @yazanarnaout7677

Well the Laterite 2 is currently £290 at Evans (£300 for the Laterite 3) so certainly the bargain of the bunch When I was purchasing the Laterite 3 was only available in XS, S and M frame sizes but for an extra £10 a bargain to get the 18 geared Shimano Sora as opposed to the 16 speed Claris setup on the Laterite 2, although it has orange decals so I wasn't overly bothered
Comment from : @DanielCfK

big help in choosing bikes
Comment from : @BIKEBROSTV

Who remembers when you could buy an 11 speed 105 bike with hydro brakes for 1000€? :((
Comment from : @Csapi007

What's the maximum weight of the Trek Domane?
Comment from : @SKEZDEADZ

All three have tall telephone poles for head tubes Odd how just offering less material in a short head tube means you have to spend at least $6,000 for the bicycle Modern road bikes are over priced and the lack of good geometry on the lower cost bikes are a scam
Comment from : @dtshifter

Buy Once Cry Once Forget these cheap bikes
Comment from : @JFomo

`one thing they do in MTB review comparisons is to setup all bike with control tires maybe you should do the same so we would have a better comparison
Comment from : @antwake

headset routing "slightly trickier" ? sounds like an euphemism when you check the invoice differences when servicing
Comment from : @antwake

Or a 2x11 used…
Comment from : @robpriddy2372

Rimbrake roadbikes must stay at least as budget-friendly entry models Usually, rimbrake is enough for beginning riders and their courses
Comment from : @권용대-b5v

Nice comparo! Just a random musing: what size frames were on test? The presenter looks like he towers over that Domane AL2 Id be curious to know the heights and frame size(s) chosen

Van Rysel EDR AF105
Comment from : @rayc4543

I wonder how the introduction of cues into road bikes will change the market Like why would trek make a AL2 (claris) and an AL3 (Sora) and AL4 (Tiagra) when cues provides more interchangeably brbrI had an AL2 and quickly got tired of the 8spd gearing Tough to keep a cadence to get comfortable Super relaxed geometry and super comfortable for long rides Only other gripe would be the tire clearance, my gen 3 had 35mm clearance and now the gen 4s have 38mm Should've made it 40mm to open up a slew of more tire choices
Comment from : @ichor20

Look at the Rose Blend (if youre in Europe)!br1200€, Shimano Tiagra, hydraulic discs, sub 10 kilos, internal cable routing, 40mm tire clearance, relaxed geometry and really neat frame welding brHard to beat!
Comment from : @ArteUltra1195

The most expensive laterite is £300 atm
Comment from : @MrRafaztar

I have an Emonda SL and I'd definitely buy a Domane AL 4 as my backup/wet weather bike 10 speed, fender mounts, and hydraulic disc brakes IMO it's the best value of the AL Domanes
Comment from : @johnlowkey359

I'm here after my reintroduction to bikes since my childhood (43 now),since I got my 1st proper mtb last week (a 2023 Specialized Rockhopper Comp) I have so much fun, that'm already searching to also get a road bike!!
Comment from : @greekveteran2715

You guys definitely missed the Decathlon range
Comment from : @adityaarun7167

Better off going second hand at this point
Comment from : @aerogut2338

I'd want at least Sora for £1,000however, both would be a decent winter road bike
Comment from : @Andy_ATB

That Domane really doesn't seem that much worse than my €7500 Domane SLR 6 😭
Comment from : @Avioto

1K for cable discs and 8 speed, all using mature technologyThe price gouge is real
Comment from : @steve8547

I have the trek, the same color he has Mine now weighs 175 pounds I put scram rival axs and some cheap carbon upgrades I could make it lighter, but it's just a spare bike As someone who owns an SL8 and a Pinarello F5 both weighing 68kg The difference is really just in the acceleration I feel the weight, but once it gets going it's good Also of course the bike isn't really aero F5 wins hands down But if your cheap or just don't want to pay silly money the trek Domane AL is the way to go It's a great project bike that could easily weigh 16 lbs I had spare parts so I only spent probably 100 dollars on upgrades

He was a good dog, indeed 😊
Comment from : @woozertoo

Even though I'm riding a Tarmac sl6 these days, I would jump on an Allez with no issue I don't have one anymore but I've ridden one in the store parking lot just to try it And yeah like you said it's more of an endurance geometry, but you could definitely jump in a crit with that thing especially if you get the uprated sport version 🙂
