They will help you pick the right size, change stem if necessary, and adjust the fit. Some stores may give you a full fit. They will also give you a free follow up tune up. The Domane is a very nice bike.

when i bought my Roubaix earlier this year
i wanted to change out crank, bars, cassette. one shop would sell me those parts at 25% discount and charge me regular labor to install. the other shop gave me the same discount but offered free labor.

What I really want to know is can you throw some gravel tires on it and make it a decent gravel bike?

For sure... Domanes have almost gravel geometry anyway.. and if you get a Disc one they take plenty big tires. Probably depends on the definition of gravel too though.
I've rode mine down lots of dirt roads with 26c tires... not really gravel, dirt. It does fine. Mine is rim brake though so I wouldn't get more than 28c on it so it wouldn't work on larger/looser gravel surfaces. Also it's carbon, so chips.

EDIT - Tried fitting the 43mm tires on mine and they fit fine. around 5-6mm clearance at the tightest point on both sides of the chain stay. That's about the same as my Lynskey and I've never had any issues with them on that bike. Helicopter tape works great for carbon, I use it on my MTBs before I ride them. Regarding the did ya pay retail price - I did, they were literally just starting to trickle in when I got my 20 although the 19s were marked way down. I would have saved 900 or so going with a 19 but I wanted the larger tire clearance and the T47 BB. The downtube storage is also very cool. Last edited by commonguy001; 11-01-2019 at 03:48 PM.

Go figure. I just ordered a '19 rim brake Domane frameset since it was marked down significantly. The 2020 disc looked beautiful but I'm not sold on the tools banging around in the downtube and discs. Will be selling my 52cm Meivici shortly...

Took out a '20 sl6 for a test ride yesterday. Nice fun endurance bike. I took it over a section of road construction where the tarmac was completely removed. This is where the bike really comes alive - I was hitting about 25 miles an hour hitting this patch and the bike felt planted and very much in control. The road feedback in your feet is muted by the time it reaches the saddle and handlebars. I was able to easily maintain speed and even pointed the bike straight over manholes and bigger bumps. Kind of unbelievable at first. Huge tires like a citibike. So much fun. Looks I'm set on getting a di2 sl7...
