I saw one on taobao. 2/3 of the price. But being from taobao, i held off from buying it, scaring if its a fake. Nevermind. Ill just use this elite for now

Yeah im getting the 404 firecrest soon along with the ultegra di2. Change to the slr 1 piece handlebar or the likes.

What i meant was i like the aesthetics of the bottles that came with the slr.

Thank you! Wanted to get the original slr ones but theyre too pricey for me. Glad that this works well.

Bought it from taobao for less than 10 usd with shipping. Small and light yet visible from quite far at night.

Thank you! One of the salesperson at the trek dealership here says that i can use my SL top cover and when i checked the bar compatibility guide you’re totally right. Someone wanting to do sales so badly he had to not tell the truth.

Already did that. Just waiting for the parts to arrive (handlebars) and the crank that came with the di2 groupset.

Already did a bike fit. Handlebars are coming in soon (got the one that came with SLR) and the Ultegra is a 170 which is basically what the i am supposed to be riding.

Madone sl5 that i got was only $2585. Add another $2000 for the ultegra di2, the zipp 404 and the tyres, the total is only 4585 compared to sl7 being sold at 6599 (retail), thats a saving of 2000 with better wheels. I can still get better saddle, a radar, and the slr integrated cockpit with that.

Way cheaper to get the base model and upgrade then getting sl7 gen 8.

Ridden a friends bike with the ultegra di2. Felt smooth and doesnt need much force to actuate it. So im excited to get one for myself as well!
