I have a 2013 model, bought 6yrs ago. Over ther years ive upgraded bits as theyve worn out ot broke . . . Changed the bars to 40cm. stem to 90mm, carbon seatpost and saddle, DT Swiss rims, Vittoria Rubino G2 tires, latex tubes, and 11speed 105 groupset with SPD-SL pedals. It regularly beats many much newer and higher spec bikes it's still super comfortable, and rolls beautifully.

Can’t wait to order mine!

I think the rim brake Pinarello Dogma F should be available forever and ever. Never to be discontinued. They can keep releasing new Dogmas but please don’t discontinue the rim brake Dogma F 🙏

Russia. Krasnodar. Hello to you from the southern capital. The bike is gorgeous, unusual coloring of the frame. I don't know why, but you tube your vidos appeared in my feed, because for a very long time I haven't watched or searched for anything on you tube on bicycle topics. 😉 How much does such a machine cost in your currency)?

prototype in Italy Pinarello factory mass production Still made in China and Taiwan there is no such thing as an "authentic" frame anymore rather pay for an OME frame than buy from a distributor that you are paying 3x or even 4x times higher and still produces from the same factory

The frames are made in Taiwan but painted in Italy.

23's, yikes!

Dry Lube is your friend.

If you think riding dirt roads is some kind of special occasion that only occurs once or twice a year then you're not really qualified to be speaking on this subject. I have lived all up and down the East Coast, generally in places with good proximity to public land like Northern New England, Upstate NY, and the Southern Appalachians. Poorly maintained dirt roads are the RULE in these areas. A road bike will get you inured very easily. Vermont is the best example of this, so it's funny you mentioned it. You're not going anywhere in Vermont on slick road tires unless you're right in Burlington.

I've been riding on Sora for about 5-6 years. I've tried a few different chains (Sram, Shimano, KMC) and cassettes as well. Now I'm using KMC X9 chains which is the best option regarding the price, how it works and the way it is linked. Moreover, I've mounted Shimano Deore XT 9s cassette and now the whole drive works perfectly fine.

45mm treaded tires, rigid fork. That's the ideal all-purpose set up for a bike that's going to see a roughly equal measure of pavement and rough dirt roads with the occasional trail shortcut thrown in. Is that a "gravel bike"? I don't really care what you call it.

Im still running Sora 8 speed in 2024. Like the campy style thumb levers better than the paddles on my ultegra.

Young man you come off as very credible and honest ! Keep making videos ! 🎉

Thanks for the video, can you list why you choose rim brakes over discs? Ive always had rim brakes, and if all of the pros have switched, why shouldnt we? (Once cost comes down)

Sora group set great light and works and cheap to replace

Get rid of disk brakes? Thats a trash idea. LOL. You really trash on Trek and Trek dealerships in this video. I don't care for this video.

I do believe that there are disclaimers at the bottom of the web pages for the bike stating "Bike and frame weights are based off pre-production painted frames at time of publication. Weights may vary in final production."

Propper athletes will probably appreciate 2010's era bikes from a performance standpoint while modern road bikes are plush and comfy, and fun, but definitely designed more around the average consumer.

Maybe they could try making regular bikes for regular people, at regular prices...Most people don't give a rip about overpriced high-end bikes made overseas😎

Thanks for the tutorial! I have a 2020 SL7 that developed the creak and this totally fixed it.

Dora is a fantastic Groupset if your just starting to ride and not sure if wanna invest a lot at the beginning. If you don’t pick up big miles it’s perfectly fine.

How about tiagra

... they have made the new Domane's too heavy and they only come w/ a "Compact Double" ... I love my 2013 Red & White Domane 5.2 w/ a Ultegra 3X10 ... that currently weighs in a 16 lbs 4 ozs ... very light and fast ...

Here to not take my meds

What size the bearing for iso speed?

.... you need to support your bikes w/ PARTS !!!! Do you think I will buy a new bike because of a $50 part ??? and would it be a TREK ??? Make what we want ... 1X's and Compact Doubles are not it !!!! ( I ride a 2013 Gen 1 Domane 5.2 w/ a Ultegra 3X10', and a 2013 TREK 8.6 DS also a 3X10 and love both of them ) ...

I agree with the Trek store being a Wal-Mart for bikes. The staff and store management is a constant revolving door.

.... I have (3) bikes ... a (Gen 1) Domane Carbon 5.2 .... a (Gen !) TREK 8.6 DS ... and a Scott "Spark 940" ... ( all are 3X10's) Now why would I take my $7-8K Domane and beat it up on Gravel or trails !!! Most people would not do that to a good "road bike" ... and just buy a cheap 2nd bike as a "beater" ... which would be cheaper then a set of rims ...

I've heard a lot of dumb stuff on youtube but I've never heard something as dumb as somebody pronouncing the trek domane as trek "doh-many". Its pronounced "domain" bruh...

Had my 2012 Stumpy until I couldn't get proprietary parts anymore in 2020. Got a Carbon Remedy and love it. Wish I had bought a Knolly, maybe in another few years. We don't need the latest greatest for trails. We aren't pros. Most of the problems with modern bikes are the lack of participation by the rider. A new bike is only good if you ride it.

Domaine SL 5 is a bit over $5k AUD in Australia for a bottom tier carbon 105 mech bike with cheap home brand wheels. Pre-covid that was $3.5k or less on sale. Why would anyone with a 5 or 10 year old bike want to upgrade?

Capitalism infinite growth myth..

There was no insight or value to this. The drone shots were nice though

Well deserved for sponsing Doper-Lance after he confessed.

I think the bike industry is kind of missing the mark on what bikes to make, and is facing the repercussions of over-ordering on their Covid boom. If we want more people to ride for everyday occasions, we don’t need carbon bikes, we need tools of utility, bikes that can either carry a load (cargo bikes) or help make cycling more accessible (e-bikes) and most importantly, the combo of the two. Some American companies are finally catching up to this, but this sector has been dominated by European and Asian brands.

part of the problem is bikes cost a down payment for a mortgage. yes quality demands the price and technology has advanced but bikes have slipped beyond that affordable line in the sand.

may be this just a trick. after got enough revenue, and they know the industry now in down trend. why not declare bankruptcy no tax, no need pay their part supplier. lose capital but i believe they already got million revenue surpassing their cost.

Hell yes they have it coming! I hope they go down hard. I will never buy another trek/bontrager product as long as I live.

I feel sorry for the workers of Trek, but for Trek as a brand I will never buy another Trek bike for what they did to Greg LeMond. They ruined his reputation and ruined him finacially for speaking the truth about doping in the peloton and Lance’s cheating.

A very nice and emotional review. Since I also have a strong emotional connection to my bikes and am looking for a racing bike, I decided on this frame. I'm not quite sure about the frame height yet. What step height do you have?

You want to know what is modern for me? It's the new custom steel bike that a fabricator is making for me. It is a rim brake, fully mechanical 10 speed, Campagnolo. Bishop Bikes is the best. No carbon on this bike. It's a timeless thing of beauty that I know I'm going to love.

Sick bike my man! 🤘🏻

I am a life long roadie, I raced years back, did the work bike commuting for years, my father was a roadie too. That said over the last few years something weird has happened. I don't want any of the new road bikes I see in shops. I don't want disc brakes, electronic, hydraulic, or internal cable systems that will take hours to replace a simple cable. I just want a simple machine that is trustworthy, has good geometry, that is fast, easy and economical to service. I will probably have to stick to used frames and retro components from now on because I can't buy that new at a bicycle shop any longer.

Let's go brandon

the more modern bike U have then more expensive maintenance will be! ALso all the integration and wireless shifting thing are not needed for 99% of riders + self serviceability is almost none.

IMO modern bikes look good, I like the aesthetics of integrated cables and aero frames, also deep wheels look cool. However, I despise disc brakes due to their heavier weight and difficulty of maintainance, rim brakes are literally the easiest part of the bike to maintain. Disc brakes, electronic shifting and all that also drive up the cost of parts and new bikes, which are nowadays insanely overpriced.

When you gotta spend $800 to try a stem that's 10mm different, something is seriously wrong.

I won't ever buy or ride a bike with full integration ever, yet the manufacturers seem hell-bent on forcing it upon us. Hydro disc brakes i can at least see the point of, especially here in the UK. Full integration is just a fashion fad, supposedly touting a 1 watt saving. Like press fit BBs there’s a whole world of pain in time, complication, and expense waiting for customers down the line, and even up front with bike fitting problems.

Good thoughts

Rim for Road, Disc for dirt. Great bike you got man
