TREK 5500 L.Armstrong US Postal TdF commemorative limited edition, 56cm (1999) – SOLD

In 1998 Trek Bicycles became the first bike manufacturers outside of Europe to win the world’s most prestigious bicycle race, the Tour de France, with US Postal Service leader Lance Armstrong‘s triumphant performance. Armstrong and his unrelenting teammates race on stock Trek 5500 OCLV carbon frames, making them the only team in the Tour de France to race on frames identical to those that are available to consumers around the globe. Thanks to Optimum Compaction, Low Void (OCLV) technology, the 5500 was the world’s lightest production frameset, weighing in at a scant 912g.

Here we are presenting a TREK 5500 OCLV L.Armstrong US Postal TdF commemorative limited edition bike which dates back to 1999. Very similar to Armstrong’s bike from that year. Early carbon era style of the frame, traditional geometry, Shimano Dura Ace 7700 groupset, 3T stem and handlebar, Rolf Vector wheels… An iconic racing bicycle perfect to enrich any classic bicycle collection or just to enjoy a fast and comfortable ride.
