    Hi all,

    I recently took the plunge and bought one of these:

    http://www.trekbikes.com/ie/en/bikes/road/endurance_race/domane/domane_4_1_compact/

    I realise that the components are fairly bog standard. So just wondering is there any parts I can change easily and for not much money (new or 2nd hand - a chance for any sellers here to show their wares :P) before I go all out in a year or 2 and change the whole groupset?

    Thanks in advance :D

    That's a perfectly good bike, with a decent if un-sexy groupset.

    Go ride it, lots.

    Thanks, glad it gets approval. Wasn't sure I spend my money wisely but couldn't ignore getting it brand new for €900!

    Just purchasing new shoes and pedals.....that will do for now :D

    Wait to parts wear out (or break). First thing I'd do is set a budget for potential upgrades. For astethics I'd change shifters to 205/ultegra if funds allow, that'll hide the horrible exposed cables, then chainset to ultegra

    I've the 2.3 and the 105 group set is excellent, I recently swapped out the wheels for zonda's and swapped the saddle for a selle..

    Thanks 'not yet'......did the 105 come standard on your 2.3? Mine is Tiagra all over it!

    Is there anywhere doing sales on groupsets?

    Yeah came with 105..

    The Tiagra is a fine groupset. Ride it for a while before you spend any money. btw the domane is a lovely bike, good luck.
