Quick Guide to Trek's Road Bike Naming Standards

I have a lot of trouble keeping up with people talking about Trek's road bikes. Maybe it's because I'm just the teensiest bit dyslexic, but to be fair, picking all your product names out of the same 6-letter hat is kind of a dick move. So with a fantastic suggestion from a teammate, I'm going to make a cheat-sheet with some potential future model names just to keep track of it all.

Current line:
Madone - the racing bike
Emonda - the climbing bike
Domane - the endurance bike

Potential future models:
Nomade - the touring bike (h/t D. Riddle)
Meando - the hybrid touring bike
Demona - the bike that looks very fast but isn't, and is always in the shop for go-fast parts
Endoma - the indoor trainer (Esperanto joke)
Odamne - the sexy as hell bike that you can't afford
Odeman - the only bike you're able to ride by the time you can afford the Odamne
