Thank you very much for the useful information about the frame durability. I've heard somewhere that back in the day when TREK manufactured these particular models, they all came with a life time warranty.
The model you've had is a 2000 model or ridden by the US postal team on TDF 2000. Its was mostly used on flat stages. The premium model (TREK 5900) which was design specifically for climbing, was one of the lightest carbon frames ever produced at the time. Love that grey color with blue decals.
