Hi Bart, I'm the new owner of "THAT" bike! It's a perfect fit, very comfortable and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Thanks again and I'll see you soon.
I bought the Domane AL5 Gen 3 at the beginning of the summer, and it has been terrific. It has the older 11 speed 105 mechanical group set, but the shifts are as smooth as butter. The paint colors were much better with Gen 3, and mine is a grey/red fade that looks awesome. Solid bike that I highly recommend. I also got it at a $200 discount, probably because it is the last Gen version. I replaced the wheels with Bontrager Elite 35 carbon wheels, so it runs great.
My experience is that the last version of Tiagra was an amazing groupset. How does 105 12speed mechanical work internally routed through the headset? How would you compare this to a Checkpoint ALR 5? AL v ALR?
I love my Trek Domane Al 5. The only thing I don’t like are the rims, but my warranty is supposed to replace them. I still think the black color is better. It’s not a race bike. Also they could’ve used a higher grade aluminum.
I just bought this bike a month ago (same color). I love it. Shifts so smooth and I love the brakes. 105 is the real deal!
