1999 or 2000 Trek 5200 oclv USPS?

I found a Trek 5200 (ultegra) usps road bike used on CL. It was in very good condition. for a 21yr. old bike. I’m having somewhat of a hard time decoding the serial#WTUJ015623S It is thought to be a 2000, but could be a 1999. Trek should know! This bike is a 58cm. and has this little tang attached under the top tube at the front where the rear brake cable guide is located and it appears to have a threaded hole in it. Someone on another forum thought that those postal Trek bikes were not sold retail and their may be the possibility that it was actually a Usps team bike that was ridden at the tours or on top of the team cars if at all. Anyone have any opinions of facts on whether this could be,please let me know so I can put it to bed.

Talked with Josh at Trek yesterday and he said that those Usps bikes with that tang hanging down under the top tube were specifically built for the postal teams,at least in the Lance era...maybe it was ridden there or just rode around atop the team car.

Remembering that they were available to the public, to special order, IIRC...

Wasn’t one one the allegations that the doping programme was part funded by selling off the spare team bikes? Next step is to check the size against what is know the riders used, this will help limit the possibilities

Additional information.

Yes, the 1999 Trek 5200 is a classic bike. It was one of the first road bikes to use Trek’s OCLV carbon fiber frame, which is known for its lightweight and stiffness. The 5200 also came with a high-end Shimano Ultegra groupset, making it a very capable and fast bike.

The 5200 was also used by the US Postal Service cycling team in the 1999 Tour de France, which helped to solidify its reputation as a top-of-the-line road bike. Today, the 5200 is still a popular choice for vintage road bike enthusiasts.

My Other Bike: Classic Trek USPS 5200

Back in 2000, an up-and-coming country cyclist by the name of Gareth Fuller made the Nationals as an Under 15. His parents celebrated by buying him a replica Tour de France-winning Trek 5200. More than two decades later he still owns it—and rode it to finish sixth overall in the inaugural 170km Mudgee Classic back in May.

Strolling around the Glen Willow Regional Sporting Complex at the end of the 2021 Mudgee Classic, carbon bikes are a dime a dozen. There are literally hundreds of them everywhere you look, mostly of similar vintage and styling.

But on closer inspection, one stands out. Resplendent in a decidedly retro livery of blue and white with red ‘Trek’ decals, it belongs to local Mudgee rider Gareth Fuller who has just piloted it to finish sixth place in the inaugural 170km Maxi Classic, with an average speed of over 40kph.

Hand-built in the USA, and no doubt considered an absolute rocket ship in its day, Gareth Fuller’s replica 1999 US Postal Service Trek 5200 instantly conjures images—historic and contentious—of Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie and Co smashing the peloton across the countryside and mountains of France.

Gareth explains his parents bought him the bike new from Sydney’s iconic Clarence Street Cyclery back in 2000, just after he’d made the U15 Nationals.

Considering he still rides it some 21 years later, it’s no surprise to learn the frame and handle bars are the only original parts left, with several modifications initially required to keep pace with his growing body, as well as numerous other component upgrades along the way.

“As I got the bike so young, I pretty quickly outgrew the seatpost and the head stem,” he says explaining the Trek 5200 isn’t an actual team issue, rather a team replica.

“It’s a full carbon (OCLV) fibre frame with alloy drop-outs. It was originally running an Ultegra 6500 groupset with Rolf Vector wheels, but these days it has Dura Ace 7800 with Dura Ace WH-7800 wheels. The current headset was actually changed the day before the Mudgee Classic as the bearings were buggered!”

Casting an eye over Gareth’s pride and joy from close quarters, it’s clearly been very well used and certainly carries a few battle scars. But, as he points out, it’s also spent its fair share of time off the road over the past two decades.

“I’ve ridden it, on and off, ever since I got it,” Gareth says. “Unfortunately, not long after we first bought it, I had glandular fever—for about five years I barely rode it at all. Then I had a short stint of racing in my early 20s, before I decided to go travelling. I actually took the bike with me to Italy with the idea of doing some riding and racing over in Europe. But it didn’t make it out of my mate’s shed!

“…I just love riding it in big bunches and testing myself against all the new carbon bikes…”

“It literally sat in his shed for a couple of years, before I finally brought it back home to Australia,” he continues.

“In my late 20s, I took it out for a few celebrity appearances here and there. But it was when I hit my 30s and started doing triathlons that I really began to ride it again. Would you believe it’s actually been my only road bike? I’ve become very attached to it.”

Gareth reveals he even has nickname for his beloved Trek. “I call it ‘Lance’ and always joke that I’m channelling his climbing ability when I ride it!” he laughs. “After all, thinking your bike climbs well is 90% of the struggle, right?”

Clearly, cycling technology has come an enormous way during the past 20 years. Does Gareth ever envisage a time when they’ll have to part ways?

“No, I don’t think so. I just love riding it in big bunches and testing myself against all the new carbon bikes. That said, I will probably be getting a new bike soon as I begin to race again. But I will definitely keep this one as a special occasion and classics bike.”

Glad to hear it, Gareth. We’ll look out for you and ‘Lance’ at the 2022 Mudgee Classic.

Trek 5200 US Postal Edition

After years of searching, I finally found and bought this US POSTAL spec 2002 Trek 5200 in 2020 with the intention of giving it a “freshen up” to use as a second bike / poor weather bike. Well, one thing led to another and I fell in love with the “ Project Postal ” build, throwing a little more money at it than I had originally planned.

I may be biased, but I think the results have been worth it! I really do love riding this classic machine. Below are a collection of posts detailing the build and of course the finished result. Enjoy!

Trek 1999 5200T Older Road Bike

1999 Trek 5200T, road race & triathlon, Shimano Ultegra Triple components, ICON Air Rail fork

• USER REVIEWS

Very light and responsive. The carbon fibre damps the road bumps and defers hand numbness. Great up hill & down hill control always, regardless of the quality of the road and of the speed.

Cannot compress Frame elements or will crack (?) the fibre.

I am old(71) and fat (250lbs when I bought the bike in 1999, and now 225lbs).

Tried Cannondale and Bianchi.

light weight, rolf vector rims are fast

Wonderful bike, the first road bike i ever purchased, think i'm spoiled because of it. Lightweight, responsive, having a little trouble with the ultegra shifters, but nothing a tune-up won't fix. Carbon fiber is the way to go, I can feel the road with out the annoying vibration, has to be ridden to be fully appreciated. Rolf Vector Comp rims are wonderful, can out coast all my friends. Heard some creaks that were supposably coming from the rolf rims, but i have not heard them since i got the new icon stem from the recall...maybe it's a coincidence...great bike

specalized s-works

The bike is really light compared to my old road bike. The frame absorbs road vibration and small shocks. The triple chainring allows me to spin on climbs. The bike really reacts quickly to body positioning and quick maneuvers. Overall it rides fantastic. It also happens to be a great looking bike.

I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who likes road riding.

I bought mine in December after riding aluminum Cannondales for the last couple years. I've put about 300 miles on it so far and it is incredibly plush. This has a great balance between providing enough flex to absorb the bumps without effecting sprinting. I bought the triple crank version because of all the hills out here and it works great. I swapped out the Rolf wheels for some Maviks with ultegra hubs and was able to save some money and also feel more comfortable that I can maintain the wheels in case of problems. Great Bike!

Got mind in Aug98. It's very sweet bike and love it every minute of it. Only one thing to me is the tire. Rolf wheel is fine but after about 500mile my rear tire grand prix got some side wall cut and time for me to replace it.(Please bring extra tubes if you come to bay area and San Jose area) OK...I except the fact that tire wear off but where can I get the same tire? every shop I go all they have is regular grand prix 3000 (n0 red trim). my front tire is still good. I hate to put some thing that not match. I have to dump the front tire and now I have to replace with specialize team turbo tire. It's look fine. Over all I give it 5 chilies baby.... I tried other bikes but you never know until you get on it. Triple comes in handy when you do alot of climbing. Beside it's make in U.S.A too..I'm very proud of it.

Lightweight, Ultegra components, integrated computer, stiff ride for powerful pedaling, Rolf wheels are light and aerodynamic.

Had to adjust brake and gear cables after every ride for the first 650 miles (Ugh!). Can feel EVERY bump in the road! Steel absorbs much better than carbon!

I've put 850 miles on this bike in 2.5 months, and I love it! Hills have never been easy for me, but with this bike, I can flatten a decent hill @ 10 mph! My average speed increased 4 mph over the hybrid with this road bike because of its responsiveness to each pedal stroke. Once I got used to the shifters, I found them very easy to use, even though they occasionally need to be pushed a bit. Overall it's a sweet bike once it's been broken in. PS. Lance rode a similar bike in the Tour de France!

Rode a Trek 720 hybrid for the first half of this season - now there's training!

lightweight stiff but not harsh acceleration stability

ugly decals

This bike really likes to climb (my luck) and it's very stable at high speeds (50mph). After 500 miles, this bike still makes me smile. Only the look could be much sexier: a paintjob and decals a la Klein or Pinarello would be the max. I hope durability isn't an issue. More about that in a year.

CAAD4, Klein Quantum race, Lemond Zurich, Peugeot

Very nice ride; light and fast. Rolf wheels are fast and stiff. Ultegra brakes are great. Trip[le crank set-up is wonderful for hilly terrain and folks who spend more time than they'd like at their desks!

Threadless headset makes changing the handlebar height and reach harder, due to limited choices in 1 stems. Icon and other Threadless stems look clunky compared to traditional road stems. Rolf wheels seem to transmit more road shock than conventional wheels.

This bike seems extremely stiff, yet smooth riding. Handling seems a little quicker than the LeMond. The Trek 5220 I test-rode twice did not seem as stable at speed as the 5200, which I attribute to a lesser fork on the 5220. The 5220 also had conventional Mavic wheels, which seemed more compliant on rough pavement, thus my comment about the Rolf wheels transmitting more road shock.

LeMond Zurich: tested Bianchi Veloce: tested Trek 5220: tested Centurion Elite: owned 15 years

If one likes the feel of a steel frame, it’s “lively” – if one doesn’t, it’s “twitchy.” When it comes to carbon fiber, those who don’t like the feel call it “dead” – those who do call it “damp.” If you are one of those that like the feel of carbon fiber, the 5200T is pretty hard to beat. One can buy a more stylish frame – Kestrel comes to mind, but whatever one chooses will inevitably be heavier and more expensive. The incredibly lightweight and responsive frame is an exceptional value. A 12-27 cassette gives a high of 117 and a low of 30 inches (12-25 is standard, which I don’t understand). Because it’s Shimano, one can also opt for a mountain bike cassette and derailleur and really go low. My one concern was the Rolf wheels, but after consulting a professional tester, my concerns were allayed. The claim is that the stiffer tension compensates for the slightly higher rotational mass. Whatever the reason, the wheels in fact have been a pleasant surprise – very stylish and very responsive, both climbing and on the flats. I was concerned the Rolf wheels might be too stiff, but the overall ride of the 5200 is surprisingly good. It’s stiffer than my old Columbus steel frame, but the damp nature of the frame allows it to take a good hit without feeling harsh. I would call the ride firm, but smooth. The Icon bars have a nice set of bends, which allow the brake levers to sit in a position such that one can hit the shifters and brakes either up on top or down on the drops. The stem isn't very styish to me, but others have commented that they find it to be good looking. The seat post is light, good looking, and easy to adjust.

One decal was put on crooked - inexcuseable for a bike that costs over $2000. The 2000 model uses an aheadset, which makes the bars too low - one reason I opted for a '99 model. I believe Trek could sell a lot more of these if they allowed Gary Klein to design the paint and graphics. The 5000 series carbon fiber bikes look fine – the paint and graphics just aren’t stylish like a Klein.

My expectations were actually not that high. I figured the lighter weight (3.5-4 lbs) and broader range of gears would be nice, but there have been many other pleasant surprises. I thought my classic Columbus Italian-geometry frameset was as good as it gets in terms of handling. However, the 74-degree headtube angle (60 cm frame) combined with a 4.3 cm offset fork provides for lighter and quicker low speed steering, while being completely stable at speed. I don’t know if it’s the geometry, the lateral rigidity of the frame, or the stiff wheels, or the combination of all three, but the bike gives one an almost scary confidence when cornering. Also to my surprise, the bike is noticeably faster than my old bike, both up and down the hills, as well as on the flats. Sizing is a bit odd compared to some bikes, as Trek measures it’s frames differently than most other top end manufacturers. I would recommend getting fitted by a good pro-shop. My local shop (Chain Reaction in Los Altos, CA) did an exceptional job fitting me, and I think that has made a significant difference in my overall satisfaction with the Trek.

Kestrel SCI

light weight, stiffness, comfort

durability?

I bought my OCLV last summer and have already put many miles on it. I love this bike. It’s incredibly light, fast and nimble and yet it’s also really comfortable on centuries and beyond. Some have warned me that the OCLVs are fragile, others have told me these frames are very tough, so I’m not sure what to think as far as long-term durability. I’ve decided not to worry about that and enjoy the ride. And what a ride it is! 5 whatever-they-ares!

Orenburg Oblast's internal borders are with the republics of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan to the north, Chelyabinsk Oblast to the north-east, and with Samara and Saratov oblasts to the west. Orenburg Oblast also shares an international border with Kazakhstan to the east and south. The oblast is situated on the boundary between Europe and Asia . The majority of its territory lies west of the continental divide in European Russia and smaller sections in the east situated on the Asian side of the divide. The most important river of the oblast is the Ural and the largest lake Shalkar-Yega-Kara . Orenburg is traversed by the northeasterly line of equal latitude and longitude. The highest point of the oblast is the 668   m (2,192   ft) -high Nakas . [10]

In the first half of the 18th century, the Russian Empire constructed the Irtysh line   [ ru ] , a series of forty-six forts, including Orenburg, [11] to prevent Kazakh and Dzungar nomads from raiding Russian territory. [12]

Orenburg played a major role in Pugachev's Rebellion (1773–1774), the largest peasant revolt in Russian history.

During the Russian Civil War , the region was heavily affected by the Russian famine of 1921–1922 .

During World War II , in 1941, the command and staff of the newly formed Polish Anders' Army was based in Buzuluk , [13] and in 1942, the First Czechoslovak Independent Field Battalion was based there. Both formations afterwards fought against Nazi Germany .

On 26 May 2024, a Ukrainian drone attacked the Voronezh M long-range radar station near Orsk . [14]

Population : 1,862,767   ( 2021 Census ) ; [9] 2,033,072   ( 2010 Russian census ) ; [15] 2,179,551   ( 2002 Census ) ; [16] 2,174,459   ( 1989 Soviet census ) . [17]

Muslims constitute 13% of the population. 3% of the population are followers of the Slavic native faith (Rodnovery), 6.8% are followers of other religions or did not give an answer to the survey. In addition, 20% of the population declares to be " spiritual but not religious " and 12% to be atheist . [23]

Orenburg Oblast is one of the major agricultural areas of Russia. Its climate is favorable to farming with a humid spring, dry summer and many sunny days, which make perfect conditions for cultivating hard wheat and rye , sunflowers , potatoes , peas , beans , corn , and gourds .

The range of the oblast's export commodities includes oil and oil products, gas and gas produced products, rolled ferrous and non-ferrous metals, nickel , asbestos , chromium compounds, rough copper, electric engines, and radiators, which are used to make products from the machine-building industry.
