    Many moons ago I was lucky enough to test out a new frame by Trek,
    this is now sitting at home gathering dust so I thought I would see if there is any interest.

    this specific frame was not the frame that made it to the actual production line, but the general frame mold did, from what I recall the only change was the ISP post.
    and I can guarantee there is only 1 in Ireland and I believe Europe.

    This is how I got the frame, the fork were from the previous Madone, and no paint or marking features at all.

    this would make a nice training bike,
    As I have no idea of the price of this, I will stick €200 down,

    any questions please shout.

    5'11''(ish) and it was perfect, I had a 140 Stem on it as I like a flat back.
