You've answered you're question then...
![]() I'm that bored being off ill that I had started checking out a route for a 4/5 day cycling holiday late next year. Idea was cycle to Malaig and get the Train back, or even do it the other way round. I'd certainly need to get my fitness levels up to even think about doing it...

On closer inspection, I wouldn't give more than £50 for it. It isn't rare, Trek sold loads like that, and the frame is nothing special.
New cables all round, new chain, new handle bar tape and probably new headset bearings

http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...rek&model=5200 But clearly isn't, being aluminium framed not carbon. I was thinking it is probably the base model of that series but I cant find it online. |

![]() Not so good now is it ![]() If it was the OLCV carbon, it would have been a nice bike. But my guess it'll be 7005 alloy at best. As its got 105 groupset it must have been a mid range bike. Those alloy frames can make your fillings fall out ![]()

Anyways closest I could find to being that bike originally is this: http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...el=2200+Triple except that one has carbon forks and the ad doesn't mention em. Mind you the ad says it has 21 gears when it clearly has 27 so I wouldn't massively trust the guys knowledge... Will keep looking, Likely to spend up to £200 on a decent-ish used road bike. |

I'd say yes to that, its a way better proposition than the Trek. I'll see you out on the roads then
