TREK 5500 – Project One – full CARBON frame – 60cm

Description

Sometimes we buy fully built up bikes….

And sometimes we find really great deals on really bad ass frames–and build them from the ground up!

This is a really sweet TREK 5500 “Project One”, custom factory painted–full OCLV 120 carbon–frameset.

Bontrager Race X Lite fork + Cane Creek headset & seatpost collar.

The original bike was a full Dura Ace build… and cost about $3800 to $4000 new.

If you are looking for a very nice road bike in the 59 / 60 / 61cm range, this might be the perfect frame for you.

We can collaborate together to create a truly unique–smokin’ hot–bike just for you.

You pick the groupset (Dura Ace, Ultegra, 105… or maybe something more exotic like Campy Record or Chorus… or SRAM Red or Force).

You pick the wheelset.  (We have many in the shop… or maybe you have your own… or we can order something special.)

You pick the stem, the bars, the seatpost, the saddle, the cables, the chain, the cassette, the tires, the housings, the bar wrap… anything goes with a custom build!

This could be built up as more of a racer… or endurance fit… or even light touring.

We have built and sold many a custom bike over the past few years… it’s a fun process and not as expensive as you might think.

Depending on all of the above you might be talking about a total investment of as little as $1100 to $1200 for a fully built up bike… or as much as ???  (The sky’s the limit.)

This is a pre-owned / used frame… so it has the usual cable rub here and small rock chips there… but nothing major and nothing structural.

Add to your wishlist and let us know what you have in mind.

Here is one example of what the bike could look like fully built up:
