2008 Trek Madone 6.5 WSD 47cm XS frame lower cartridge bearing NOS

Sold: $1,049 Buyer: Thailand
2008 Trek Madone 6.5 WSD 47cm XS frame lower cartridge bearing NOS
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a new old stock 2008 Madone 6.5 WSD 47cm frame on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame is new old stock from an IBD. A customer ordered the frame, made a down payment, but never turned up to have it built. The frame has been in storage since 2008. The frame is being sold because the IBD needs to make room for new inventory. The frame features women’s specific geometry, an oversized and tapered head tube, integrated seat mast, top tube internal cabling, an oversized down tube and a 90 mm press fit bottom bracket shell. The serial number on the frame reads WTU136T023D. The frame and the fork as shown weighs 2 pounds and 2 ounces (1.0 kg). No front fork included. No seat mast cap included. No head set or top cartridge bearing included. No water bottle bolts included. There are many images of the frame set here. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the service.
Review of condition
The frame is in excellent condition. It is clean and there are no cracks, bulges, flaking or flexing that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame. The rear drop outs are in alignment with the the centerline of the frame and the rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. The bottom of the down tube, the back of the seat tube and the chain stays show no wear. The cable housing guides are riveted securely to the top tube and the down tube. The chain protectors are mounted firmly. There is no wear around the rear brake bolt or on the rear drop outs. There is no corrosion in the water bottle bolts. The lower cartridge bearing turns smoothly. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The Trek badge is not centered properly on the head tube. The top tube cable stop near the seat mast is missing. The cable guide normally mounted on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell is missing. 
Frame and Wheel Conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this frame will suit the smaller female cyclist who seeks to upgrade to something very light and is willing to do the extra work necessary to get this frame back on the road. Indeed, the frame is small enough that it could suit a junior female cyclist or even a tall ten year old. Refitting the frame will obviously be a labor of love, but the final result will be a fine example of one of Trek’s top of the line racing bikes in an original and distinctive finish. The new owner will channel the grim determination of Lance Armstrong on this bike and perhaps be inspired to ride a bit further and faster as a result. A great opportunity to obtain a very fine frame at an excellent valuation.
