CL post: Carbon Fiber Trek 5000 - $350 (North side - Chicago)
Q- Was this model made in house or by someone such as American Composites? Looks quite like the Kestrels of the era.

Trek made their own bikes, but they copied the Kestral design. Both are good frames.

MINT Pink Metal 1984 LOTUS Excelle mixte Road Bike-- 54cm Medium
[h=2]MINT Pink Metal 1984 LOTUS Excelle mixte Road Bike-- 54cm Medium - $300 (Capitol Hill)[/h]
This is the nicest, cleanest, and lightest Lotus I have ever seen. The rare pink color is so beautiful. A one owner bike purchased brand new in 1984, rode once around the block, and then stored for 30 years. Frame is lightweight and strong double butted Tange Mangaloy 2001 steel. Shimano components. Maillard hubs, alloy wheelset, precise shifting, light action brakes that easily modulate speed and can stop the bike swiftly. Frame and components are in a solid 9 or 9.5/10 condition with absolutely no rust or corrosion anywhere and barely even a paint chip; paint is still super glossy! Bike was just tuned and oiled and needs nothing whatsoever, but a new rider! 54 cm frame, best for someone 5'3"-5'6'' or. Email/call/text 425-772-8850. $300 firm. Thanks.
This is an unusual commuter roadie. A Lotus Excelle mixte in a fabulous color and mint condition. Based on my experience, this color does not correspond with the model/year. The components and detailing indicate this is an 1984 Excelle, but that model only came in Silver, Ice Blue, and Burgundy. At least those are the only colors I have ever seen. This bike looks pink, not Burgundy or faded Burgundy. This pink looks like the Raspberry Pink of the 1983 Super Pro Aero! So this model/color is new to me. Totally worth $300.

In 2006 Trek started making the 5000 carbon fiber frames in Asia. Instead of calling them OCLV (US made), they called them TCT or Trek Carbon Technology. I don't know the quality difference, probably more voids in the carbon.

You'd think they'd be better, but I'm not sure. I'm happy with my old school Kestrel and OCLV. A local skateboard builder created decks that used heat and low frequency radio waves to cure them. You'd think tech would improve the build.

Okay, so it's a tragedy. Maybe someone can restore its former glory? Looks like the braze-ons are intact, and the price is right....
Libertas Competition Fixed Gear - $175 (7611 SE Insley St)
Belgian Bike - Libertas "Competition" turned into a Fixed Gear bike. Clip in pedals, about 59 cm, good for someone about 6' to 6' 4''. Super lightweight and sweet 2 tone lug design. I'd give the frame condition about 8 out of 10. Check out the pictures and let me know of you'd like to come check it out.
Please call or text because I never check my email.
