Supposedly the stock 5500 is what the USPS team used if you believe the marketing copy. Nice bike back in the day with 9sp dura-ace. I think Trek guarantees all their CF OCLV frames for the life of the frame even if it is no longer the original owner.
Incorrect, unless they had a different policy in the early 2000s - which seems unlikely.
