I've been riding the Madone Gen 8 for about three weeks now. Love the bike. However, noticed today that the head tube is not symmetrical on each side and the "nose" is not centered. Looks like bad carbon work to me… I find it hard to believe something like this would get out of quality control, but you can definitely tell that the curvature on each side ends at a different place and the middle of the nose is offset. Thoughts? Definitely going to have the shop look at it when I get back in town in a week. Pictures are from straight on but three different angles, looking slightly up slightly down and straight on.

Do you all even do basic research? Or do you just come here to create noise because you like how you sound?
That’s the design of the bike, it even shows this offset in the product/launch photos.
Most bicycles aren’t symmetrical. I love when people make these kind of posts without the slightest idea of how a bike is made, and then even more double down in the comments with some peak boomer ramblings.
Please “take it to the shop” and let me know the response you get. They’ll be laughing their asses off when you leave.
Never change Freds. Straight to BCJ
