T.J. here.
Sorry don't have a weight with new saddle I'll weigh it tomorrow! Just got it on there today. This bike is a beast. Trek hit the ball out of the park with this one. And its not a bad looking bike. Sorry im small and it doesnt have that top tube look! Weight weenie disc bike? Need ideas! I got a flat today so screw you for judging my long stem in front. I sold the Madone with the big carbon wheels so that's all I had! O and I live in San Diego so I can't afford a white garage. I spend all my money on bikes. Oops!
6.98 kg with old saddle and pedals.

Walk into any trek dealer and ask them to order part number W440961. [emoji869]

You've not put the 5mm spacer between top cap and stem? Trek stipulate that you need the spacer.
I only ask as I'd like to do it myself without the spacer.

You don't need the spacer with the Bontrager XXX integrated bar/stem combo because the top of the stem does not bind against the steerer tube.

I'm running a xxx stem, same as the combo?

Only took it out for 3 shorter rides. It's comfortable. It's plenty stuff and the integrated bonty stuff is nice too! O and they are super light! Only downside is the price IMO.

I feel like on this bike they work with the frames compliance and stiffness. It's kind of perfect... Like a really good steering rack on a really good road car. [emoji109]
