Thanks again everyone for your advice!

I ordered a 2010 (available beginning July 1) Trek Madone 5.2 OCLV carbon fiber frame (made in Waterloo, Wisconsin) with the new Ultegra 6700 group (cables under the handlebar tape) except:
180 mm DuraAce triple crank AND 200 mm Zinn triple crank (I'll experiment and decide which I prefer)
Velocity Deep V 32-spoke wheels, front & rear with 25 mm wide tires
Speedplay pedals (to clear the ground better with the long cranks)

I'll post my impressions after I get the bike and do some riding.

Thanks,

Joe
