2007 Giant Trinity A1 50 cm Size M carbon alloy time trial frame set red triathlon
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2007 Giant Trinity A1 Size M 50 cm time trial frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set was purchased new from Exeter Cycles in Exeter, New Hampshire in 2008. It was raced in a local time trial series until the end of 2010. It was used twice in 2011 and has been in storage. The frame set has never been crashed. The owner is a masters category cyclist and he is selling the frame set because he no longer races frequently enough in time trials to justify hanging onto the frame set. The frame set has always been stored indoors. The frame set features Alliance Technology (aluminum head tube, down tube and chain stays combined with carbon top tube and seat stays with a seat post that is half alloy and half carbon), Alliance Technology formulaOne Composite front fork, aerodynamic down tube, asymmetrical top tube, cut away seat tube, aero seat post, horizontal rear drop outs, internal cabling on the top tube and down tube, double water bottle cage mounts and red on nude carbon finish. The frame set as shown weighs 2.70 kg (6 pounds). The serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell reads GY627922. The serial number on the steer tube reads GL6X4122. Please see 80 additional images of the frame set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the service.
Review of condition
The frame set is in very good condition. It is clean and ready for build. There are no cracks, bulges, flaking or flexing that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame, the fork or the seat post. The rear drop outs are in alignment with the centerline of the frame and the rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. There is no wear on the back of the seat tube or along the chain stays. The cable stops are mounted firmly and free of obstructions. The front derailleur hanger is undamaged and mounted securely. The steer tube is not bent or showing any bulges. The front drop outs are in alignment with each other and the front fork blades are not bent. The front drop outs have safety tabs. The crown race is mounted securely on the front fork. The cartridge bearings move smoothly and the headset is not missing any parts. The head set races are not pitted or corroded. The bottom bracket threads are not stripped or corroded. There is no corrosion in the water bottle bolt holes.
Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 1 x 10 mm white scratch on the non drive side of the top tube near the Trinity A1 lettering. There is a 2 x 5 mm chip on the drive side of the top tube. There is wear on the top tube near the intersection with the seat tube from a strap. There are three 2 x 5 mm chips on the non drive side of the seat tube towards the top of the post. There is a 1 mm chip in the finish on the leading edge of the non drive side fork blade. There are three 1 mm chips on the bottom of the down tube from road grit. There is wear around the front and rear brake bolt holes. There is wear on the front and rear drop outs.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this is an excellent time trial frame set that will suit the road cyclist who wants to have a time trial bicycle on hand for a local time trial series or stage races. It will also suit the triathlete enthusiast who seeks to upgrade to something fully aerodynamic and practical. The frame set is in very good condition with many hours of fast riding still remaining in its carbon and alloy tubes. With a set of aero wheels, the built up bicycle will be as fast as its flashier cousins and its voice will inspire the will to suffer against the clock. The new owner will derive satisfaction from building up the bicycle and knowing that excellent value was obtained.
