  Selling my carbon Trek Madone 5.2 (OCLV 120) road racing bike frame and forks. This frame has served me well, but I don't have any room to hold on to it any longer. Purchased from new in 2005 and well looked after since. Frame has normal signs of use and one or two paint chips and cable rub marks (see photos). Great all-around frame.

  • Seat angle - 73.5 degrees
    
  • Head tube angle - 73.8 degrees

  Riding out around Nice perfect - once you're away from the central area and highways. I did an ironman there in 2006 and the bike course covered some long, long climbs....and long, long descents! Have a great time.
