Trek Madone 6.9 SSL "Plata Negra"
Chaps,
I have the chance to get my hands on one of these frames (complete with the XXL forks) for £1200. Do any of you guys have experience of this frame and do you think I should jump at that price?
It's the same frame which Lance Armstrong rode in the 2007 TdF.
Thanks for any input.
Ben

Okay I made a mistake with the dates... I don't really follow LA all that much; prefer the clean, European riders.
Thanks for the input guys. I have been looking at new frameset prices and I can get my hands on something just as light, for a few quid more and with a warranty.

We've had one sitting on the showroom floor for years with no buyers because it's the stiffest, most uncomfortable ride pretty much anyone has tried.
