Trek Elite 9.9, 2009 model
[img] [/img]

1310 grams for those who like that sort of thing.

Been looking for a new frame for a while and then stumbled upon this, given the outrageously reduced price and lifetime guarantee, I thought sod it why not.

Plan to take the Reba's and XT stuff of my current Fisher and build it up over the next couple of weeks. Just need a new front mech and chainset.

Extremely pleased 8)

If you want an XTR M970 conventional, I've got a barely used one I've been meaning to put on the classifieds!

Very nice frames those.

That headtube can't be as steep as it looks can it?

Thanks guys.

Headtube is 70 degrees.

I paid 8500 SEK, which as roughly £750.

Re decking, hmm, fair point, although its a rarely used part of the garden.

Thanks for the offer njee20, unfortunately as I live outside the UK buying things privately is a hassle with moving money.

Do normal hollowtech chainsets fit these frames?

19.5 if measured to the top tube meeting the seatpost, 23.2 virtual.

I'm 6.2" with 33" inseam, so I'll get a few inches of the included Bontrager seatpost

Any outboard bearing style chainset will work.

Different BB kits available from Trek to work with different chainset brands.
