Trek Emonda SLR Disc - Vapour Coat

Trek Emonda SLR Disc - Vapour Coat

Wakes 1

John loves riding up mountains - especially the Stelvio - and he wanted a light bike with excellent braking in all weathers. He has had a Parlee for a decade and more recently an Alchemy custom frame. He opted for Trek as their huge R&D budget enables them to build the lightest and strongest carbon frames currently avaibale. Surprisingly, given that the Emonda SLR is very light and strong it is also very comfortable due to how the carbon is laid up in the mould. the slim seat stays will cushion the rider and the narrow waisted top tube offers enough flex to reduce any jarring on bumpy roads.

John's trek is a custom Project One farme and painted in Deep Dark Blue Vapour Coat (£1,100.00) he built his bike with SRAM's wireless eTap groupset and used Bontrager's tubeless ready Aeolus XXX4 wheelset (1500g). Handlebars and stem are by Enve Composites.

What our clients say

  • "Cyclefit offers an in-depth and highly personalised approach to bike sales. Whatever your riding discipline (for me it’s road, gravel and MTB) the team in Covent Garden will find the right build for you. All this is built around a pro level bike fit and detailed component selection. Add to this the important items often overlooked beyond the bike itself such as shoes, insoles and saddle pressure mapping and it’s a full service operation."

    Self-confessed MAMIL

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

    Bauke Mollema

  • "Cyclefit provide a great personalised service that focuses on giving you exactly what you need. They are extremely knowledgable and friendly and no request/requirement is too difficult for them."
