Hi all,

im about to purchase my second road bike after beginning to ride on a merida 880.

Its a carbon TREK OCLV 5200 and its a 2006.

Just seeing if anybody has this or have owned this bike, its got full ulltegra components and is all standard apart from the seat.

All comments welcome, many thanks Dave :D

    Well this would have been the incarnation of one of the bikes that took Lance to his earlier Tour victories, so if it's good enough for him...

    Is this a new bike ? - or are you buying 2 user

    If its new its been kicking around in that shop for a while - make sure its the right size - and not one in a size no one else wanted !
  • hi,

    yeah its new and my size, having the bars changed tho as they are to narrow for me, also the seat is rubbish so that is in the deal .

    so i think from the comment that it is a good bike??
