Pictures are of actual bike being sold.
I am hard pressed to think of a bike more capable of more things then this one. A nearly brand new 2014 Trek Domane 5.2 complete with Shimano's fabulous Ultegra 6900 11-speed drivetrain may just be the best performing bike for the least amount of money available. This 16.7 lb powerhouse of technology and speed really is nearly unbeatable in terms of frame technology and performance and I can think of nothing currently on the market that can touch this bikes performance/comfort envelope for anywhere near this price. So scroll down and view the 25+ Hi-res images of the bike as well as the description of this bikes condition and technology...
Handmade from Trek's 500 Series OCLV size-specific carbon, it's light, stiff, and playful, and with Trek's excellent IsoSpeed decoupler, it's compliant too. The decoupler mechanism allows the seat tube to float, pivoting on an internal axle where a pair of sealed cartridge bearings separate frame from axle. The whole mechanism acts as a sort of leaf spring. Meanwhile, the IsoSpeed fork has slimmer fork legs paired with rearward-facing dropouts, which are designed to better soak up road vibration and bumps without compromising steering precision.
The drivetrain specification is simply outstanding... Shimano 6900 11-speed with 172.5mm compact cranks give this bike the outstanding all-around capabilities it is so famous for. Those 50/34t chainrings give this bike the gearing it needs to make fast work out of climbs as well as keep rotating mass to a minimum. Shifting is so quick and precise with this groupset that it makes one question the point of it's much more expensive brother, Dura-Ace. It is simply amazing how far bicycle drivetrains have come this past 20 years. And unlike so many other "Ultegra" bikes that only offer Ultegra shifters and rear derailleur, this bike is 100% Ultegra right down to the front derailleur and brakes! Bars are Bontrager RaceXLite carbon while the stem is Bontrager Race Lite. The saddle is Bontrager Affinity 3 Race. Wheelset is Bontrager Race which can be set up tubeless if one wants. Total weight for the bike, as previously mentioned, is a svelte 16.7 lbs on our scale. (No pedals are not included as anyone looking at a bike like this likely already has a favorite pedal system.)
But what I think I like most about this bike is the fact it can be everything to everyone. What I mean is that this bike can be set up to be a long distance cruiser, able to eat the miles as well as anything else on the market, or it can be setup to be an aggressive racer, able to tear up your local weekend criterium. And amazingly this jack of all trades bike still weighs less then many bikes designated as focused, light weight race bikes. This is truly a remarkable number and points to the amazing direction that the modern road bicycle has taken.
Condition
Being that this bike is only a 2 years old the cosmetic and mechanical condition is very good. Mileage is estimated at around 2000 total miles and outside of some paint chips to the wheel spokes (typical of these Bontrager wheels..) this bike looks amazing in person. Our studio lighting really exaggerates imperfections big time and in the flesh this bike looks A+. Frame shows no marks that I can find. Check out all the images to get some idea of this bikes overall condition.
- Geometry -
The bike is a 56cm and has a 30.75" stand over height. The effective top tube length is 55.4cm measured cTc. The bikes reach measures 25.75" inches as measured from the center of the seatpost to the center point of the stems handlebar clamp on a horizontal plane. I would suggest rider fit at between 5' 10" and 6' 0" depending upon body type.
We offer no international shipping. Don't ask, the request will be denied. Overseas fraud and high shipping costs prohibits it. If you are overseas and would like to purchase a bike you see simply make sure the bid you are placing is coming from within the U.S. (Ebay blocks foreign bidders on our listings) and that the ship to address is in the 48 continuous United States. I am happy to ship the bike to a friend or family member so long as they are here on domestic soil. Payment expected within 5 days of auction close. If you cannot pay in this period of time please contact us and we'll work out something convenient for you. We are easy to deal with and want any transaction we are involved in to not only be smooth but also a pleasurable experience. Because of this bikes weight and size, shipping will be $75 and that includes INSURANCE. Please allow up to 5 business days for the bike to be packed and an additional 4 days for FedEX insured delivery. We pack all bikes on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays (weather dependent). That is not to say if you purchase a bike on a Monday from us it will be packed that same day as we may already have a full docket of bikes to pack from prior in the week. Other times, a bike purchased and paid for on a Monday CAN be packed and shipped out the next day... it all depends upon that weeks work load. So please be patient as we do our best to get the bikes out as quickly as possible to their new owners as we know how exciting it is getting one of the beautiful machines. Oh, also, every so often we will get an email with regards to our shipping policies. To clarify these policies and time periods I can tell you the following.... We use FedEX and FedEX ONLY! They are the best at handling bicycles and they do an excellent job overall to make sure these very expensive and sometimes delicate machines make it to their destinations in one piece. We hand pack every bike ourselves using FedEX approved, BIKE SPECIFIC boxes. All bikes are packed using new packing materials. All bikes are shipped with proper bicycle specific plastic packing supports in place to protect the bike from crushing side loads sometimes experienced during shipping. These include the installation of plastic fork supports to keep the front fork from penetrating the bottom of the box and dérailleur side load supports and axle shields to keep the axle of the wheels from penetrating the side of the box. Also, we insert a SECOND SHIPPING LABEL in every box in case the original label is somehow pulled off the box. This ensures that the bike will make it to it's destination. Lastly the box is sealed with industrial box staples to keep the load securely enclosed. (These are steps that other sellers on eBay just won't do.) Oh and if you think FedEX insurance covers the bike while under their care, think again! The last thing FedEX wants to do is pay off on a damaged bicycle claim that costs as much as some used cars. They will deny the claim for the simplest of reasons. That is why we cover all the bases. We take EVERY precaution to make sure this bike is not only packed correctly but is also covered with TRUE insurance. Packing of a bicycle takes a significant block of time if done correctly. Note: If shipping to a residence, FedEX Home Delivery is closed Sundays and Mondays. Also, we do not ship when it is raining at our location. This is because we have discovered that a wet bike box doesn't ship as well as a dry one and we cannot control the possibility of the shipping company leaving the package in the rain, if even for a moment. Inclimate weather may lengthen the time to ship out but it is well worth the peace of mind that the bike arrives in one piece, exactly as pictured. This is one thing we can say that few other sellers of pre-owned bicycles can... Our bikes will make it to you as promised, as advertised and in EXACTLY the condition that it left us. Packing a bike is something that takes experience and taking short cuts will only land you in the nightmare of the FedEX claims department which can take months to resolve. Better to do it right the first time. All bikes require a signature upon delivery. Bikes are not packed until payment is received so keep in mind that if payment takes a week to receive that means a week delay in the packing of said bike. Local pick-up is always available. Email communications should be sent through eBay's messaging system itself. Paying with PayPal will expedite shipping. Pedals are not included with bikes unless otherwise noted as I figure anyone looking at this level of equipment already has a favorite pedals system. Feel free to contact me, Eric, anytime with any questions you may have. I always welcome your calls: (858.775.7878) I love talking bikes. Lastly, If you have zero (0) or negative feedback, I ask that you contact me first before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel bids from such members.
