Value upgrades to my 2015 Trek Domane 4.1

Hi all,

I recently took the plunge and bought one of these:

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

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

Go ride it, lots.

Funky bar tape?

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

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.
