9 years and over 50,000 km – my Trek Émonda SL5 has been my best friend on my quest for better fitness and is still going strong. The only times I’ve thought about upgrading, I just have to look at new bike prices to bury that idea 😄 It still looks good, with only a few small and larger scratches in the paint.

Living in the flattest of flat places, I finally converted it to a 1x drivetrain this summer. I replaced the rear mech as well, since old one was all banged up. Now I just need new bar tape in order to get rid of the front mech cable housing.

    That’s really nice!

    Is 9 years enough time to finally cut the steerer tube? 😆
