After selling my mint 2005 Trek 5200 2 years ago I have recently had the itch to get another similar steed, so the search began with local CL & Ebay. I found this '99 Trek 5500 and got it. I believe and after review by one of the members of the 2000 Trek team I do believe this was originally raced / ridden by Kevin Livingston in '99! I will be finding period correct parts for the most part to get it back on the road for a Sunday or special ride. Frame itself is in great shape as only a few light scratches in the blue paint and nicks in the decals here and there that I can definitely live with, who knows this frame could have helped pull Lance up some of those hills at the TDF as Kevin was one of Lance's favorite climbers from what I have read.
