My Trek 5500 OCLV

This is a super bike to ride. It is very light and accelerates very quickly when you stomp on the pedals. Its lightness makes for good quick climbing, something I love to do. It is also quite stiff and transfers power well.

The frame geometry is very traditional (seat tube angle 73.5° and head tube angle 73.8°) which gives a comfortable ride.
