Hey guys. After training this year and competing in tris-I know that's what I really want to do. I bought a 2006 Trek 5200 but really want to save up and purchase a tribike over the winter, so I'm selling 'ol bessie. It's a 62cm with Shimano Ultegra components and a triple ring on front, two bottle cages, two sets of tires (training and race) and a decent computer and carbon stryke aerobars. It's a great bike with only about 400 miles on it so virtually brand new. I was going to put it on Ebay but wanted to try here first. It retailed for $2,600 brand new but I'll sell it for $2,000+ shipping (It will be professionally boxed at LBS). I'll attach pics later today.

I'm 6'5" with monkey arms so it fits pretty well.

I think you should too! It's a great all around road bike. When I started riding it, I was very concerned because I weighed 275 lbs and I thought I would really bend the wheels, but it has always been solid. I'm down to 255 lbs and it's very responsive to power output. One note, I noticed that I said it had Carbon Stryke aerobars but they're really Profile Design Airstryke bars. I had them on the bike for a bit but took them off and hadn't seen the bars for a month or so. But it also has a Profile Design Airstryke saddle on. I was planning on keeping the saddle but if someone wants it too, I'll throw it in ($75 value). Anyway, email me with any other questions.

yeah I am about 300 lbs so that is always a concern for me. I will have to talk to my Bike expert. nothing like having a guy with 30 years biking experience who has your back.

I couldn't agree with you more! My LBS got me this bike specifically to handle my size/ weight.

I've decided to lower this a bit to compete with other online deals I've seen, so I'm moving the price down to. . . . . . . . .

$1,750!!!! Wow, what a steal.
