Anybody here ridden a Trek Emonda? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2018 Emonda ALR 4, never used, going for €1,000. This is an undeniably sexy bike, definitely an upgrade from my previous twice-bought and twice-stolen 2014 Alpha 1.2, but I'm wondering if the frame will hold up as well while touring; can anyone make any comparisons between the two regarding things like wheelbase or maximum load? Crucially, will it at least take a proper rack? Disregarding the standard worries about touring on a racer; even with <25kg of gear, is this frame too delicate?
Anyway, these people who buy decent bikes and never cycle them mystify me, I get the feeling that the fella here is trying to recoup his total cost. What's the lower end of a reasonable euro price for this bike considering it's in mint condition?
