2006 Trek Equinox 11 Size M Project One Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 10spd Bontrager wheels time trial

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2006 Trek Equinox 11 Project One carbon fiber time trial bicycle on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The bicycle was purchased new from Kennebunkport Bicycle Company in 2005. The owner rode the bicycle for less than 500 miles before placing it in storage. In late 2011, the owner returned to Kennebunkport Bicycle Company and traded the bicycle in towards a mountain bike. The bicycle has been in storage since then. The bicycle has never been crashed and it has had only one owner. The bicycle features full Dura-Ace 7800 group set, Bontrager clincher wheels, Mavic Win Tech wireless road computer, Selle San Marco Aspide Triathlon seat, Profile Design Carbon Stryke Ironman aero extension bars and distinctive translucent burgundy red Project One finish. The bicycle as shown weighs 19 pounds 10 ounces (8.9 kg). The serial number reads WL3261617. There are 120 detailed images of the bicycle at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please visit the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the service and the company.

Review of condition

The bicycle is in very good condition and shows only light signs of wear. It is clean and ready to ride. The shifting is precise and complete in all twenty gears. The brakes activate easily and grip well and there is about 3 mm of pad remaining on the brake pad wear indicator. The wheels are true and round and they spin freely and smoothly. There is no lateral play in the hubs. The spokes are straight and tight. The braking surfaces of the rims show light wear. The tire treads are not worn and the side walls are not cracked. The tires hold pressure.

There are no cracks, bulges flexing or flaking raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame or the fork. There is no wear on the bottom of the down tube, the back of the seat tube or on the inside surfaces of the chain stays. The front and rear forks are in alignment with the centerline of the frame and the rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. The front derailleur hanger is securely attached to seat tube and undamaged. there is no wear under the front fork crown. The steer tube does not show any cracks or bulges. The crown race is secured firmly. There is no play in the bottom bracket. There is no corrosion in the bolts on the stem, the steer tube, the seat post or in the water bottle cage bolt holes. The chain does not read 0.75 or 1.0 on the chain wear tool.

Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 1 x 80 mm scratch in the finish on the drive side chain stay near the drop out. There is a 1 x 10 mm scratch on the drive side top tube near the intersection with the seat tube. There is a 5 x 10 mm area of abrasion on the seat tube over the HC OVLC Carbon lettering. The seat post shows wear from adjustments. There is wear around the front and rear drop outs. There is wear on the right edge of the saddle. The batteries in the Win Tech road computer are operational and the device keeps time properly. However, Frame and Wheel was unable to convince the Win Tech road computer to track speed and distance. The front wheel is a Bontrager Race Lite. The rear wheel is a Bontrager Race X Lite. There is no bar tape on the aero extensions.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Trek Equinox 11 will make an excellent choice for the entry level triathlete who seeks an aerodynamic but practical time trial bicycle. It is ready to ride and it has many hours of racing against the clock remaining in its aero tubes. Frame and Wheel believes that with some proper fitting, a set of aerodynamic carbon wheels and an aero helmet, the new owner will be able to make this bicycle go as fast as its descendants. The translucent burgundy finish and the flames that lurk just beneath it will intimidate the competition and inspire the new owner to reach new levels of performance in the race against the clock. David Cote will be pleased to know that the bicycle is back on the road.
