Trek Madone 5.5 2008.
Questions:
(1) Can anyone with recent experience of buying/selling provide info on estimated value/price?
(2) Any glaring issues that owners of this bike have encountered?
(3) Feel free to add any (unsolicited but much welcomed) advice, given my lack of expertise in carbon.
Thank you in advance.
Something wrong with those spec photos but was a great bike in its time. Dura Ace on a decent mid range frame with fairly relaxed geometry and looks like it still has the spacers on the steerer. I’d want to see close up photos to make sure it’s been looked after. No idea on price. Was about 4500USD at the time.
