15 years old and still my favourite Carbon ride. Trek 5200

• Add to quote

Just got back from 10 days in Mallorca with my Bianchi Sempre. Did over six hundred miles, up the mountains and through he lanes. Yesterday, for a change I went on on a regular club run on my 15 year old Trek 5200 and I loved it. It's not quite as sharp as the Bianchi, but it was smoother and felt lighter to ride. Just what a 60 years old rider like me is looking for. If I had to choose just one to keep it would be the Trek. If someone had given me the bike to ride, not knowing what it was, I would have bought it Anyone else had similar experiences when they have bought a new bike and then dug out the old one? It's easy to kid yourself when you've just dumped loads of dosh on a new bike. I remember when I first got the bike, I was riding a Vitus 979 Dural at the time and the Trek amazed me with it's ride quality. Then I moved to Ti. I have a few bikes, but the Trek always puts a smile on my face when I ride it..  

Trek 5200 is a great bike. Not as stiff as a the newer bikes out there and slightly heavier, but very comfortable and better built than many of the newer bikes. Bike can be made to feel more modern simply by upgrading the wheels and component group. I like the look of my USPS colored bike more than the newer bikes out there. I do think my newer C59 eclipses the Trek in performance, but the Trek is a better bike than most bikes being made today, and Lance rode it to victory in the Tour De France, so it's definitely made for racing I too was recently in Mallorca, while i rode my Colnago there, I was surprised at how many 5200's and older 5.9 discovery Treks there.

This response gets me to think that frames have not improved as much as the guys selling bikes would have us believe.  

I was quite taken with the smoothness of the ride compared to my Bianchi and the Bianchi has Vittoria open pave 28mm on the back and a 24mm on the front. The Trek has Michelin pro race 3. 25mm Also the Trek has Open Pros and the Bianchi Ksyrium Elites. Not sure how much difference this make though.  

There's something wrong, when everyone's buying wider tires, to compensate for stiff frame design.  

I agree, they're not one of the liveliest frames out there, and maybe racers might be looking for that little bit extra, But for the club rider who likes to get the miles in, they take some beating. Compared to the Sempre, it a really smooth ride, more noticeable I think because I've just spent 10 days on the Bianchi. My 5200 is a year 2000 model with the 1in steel steerer tube and the steering is really light and it make the bike feel lighter to ride. The only Carbon bike I can compare it to is the Bianchi, a friend of mine who has just bought a C59 also as a Trek 5200, one of the last ones before they went to Madone. He's still not sure which he prefers, the C59 or the 5200.

I rode a Trek 5200 and then 5500 over a period of 17 years. The only dislike was the dead feeling. After I sold my 5500 a got Tarmac SL3. The ride was noticeably stiffer and harsher and I am not sure was any faster. I recently sold the Tarmac and I am building up a Cannondale EVO in hopes it will be the perfect compromise. Since I am currently without a bike a borrowed my daughters Trek 5500 that I built for her from a used frame I bought on Ebay for $300. I rode it yesterday and thought damn I like this bike, its smooth and really stable, but it did feel a bit too sedate. But All in all still a bike worth riding and enjoyable.  

Robert Parker convinced the wine world that fruit bombs were great wines. Similarly I feel there's been a movement that stiffer always means better and faster with regard to bikes. i reject both. The 5200 is a nice bike perhaps because it's not overly stiff and it tracks well. I clearly like those qualities, as the c-59 is not known as the stiffest bike made today either, but it does ride well. Ignoring endurance bikes with their long chainstays it seems more and more the only way to get a balanced race bike is to go custom.  

I agree, wheels do liven up the ride. When everybody is pushing how comfortable their bike are and the lengths they say the go to to achieve this, the ( Bianchi Infinito CV springs to mind). I reckon Trek had it sorted 15 years years ago with the 5200. When you talk about the Trek 5200, one word always seems to crop up, Smoothness. When I've not ridden it for a while, the smoothness of the ride it the first thing I notice. I'm sixty years old and a med to long distance club rider. 80 to 120 miles. and I doubt there is a better Carbon bike out there for my needs. Never liked the Trek paint and livery though, so I resprayed mine.

that's a nice looking bike!  

I've got two, the one in the pic is a 2004 model. I still have the 2000 model with the the 1inch steel steerer. They both ride the same though. I built the 2004 one from bits I bought off ebay. I think I'm done buying bikes now though. lol  

Other than a Colnago c-50 I don't recall a carbon bike from that era having so many fans.  

It does because the Lance craze at the time. I used to own one and it was a great riding bike on long trips, but it lacked feedback. It did have a dead feel to it.  

I had a very nice 2004 5900 Super Light. One ride on a 2006 Time VXS had me switch. The Trek was just a bit twitchy in comparison. I prefered the more relaxed ride. I added a 5.9 Domane to the stable and ride the snot out of that. It is a bit more comfortable than the Time and feels stiffer climbing, but not much. The 11 speed on the new Domane is really what sets it apart (yes, I could upgrade the Time) The old Trek was a fine bike, but I have no regrets about moving on.  

I think the big news here is that it hasn't assploded, melted away from UV exposure, fallen apart from electrolysis, delaminated from moisture, or succumbed to the other innumerable frailties of CF.  

Lol! Agreed..  

Yeah, a change of tyres and wheels goes a long to helping with this "dead feel" people talk about Having said that, given some of the roads here in the UK. lack of feedback a good thing. Some of the roads over here shake you to bits.  

I love mine. 2003. Just rebuilt completely after shifter failure. Dura Ace 7800. New wheels, tire, tubes, chain, cassette, cables and housing. all bearings regreased. Rides like a dream. As I get older I am thinking about new BB and compact crank to help me over the hills. Have any of you had experience with a compact crank on these? My concern is can I lower my braze on front derailleur enough to work correctly with the compact crank.  

I can't imagine why you could not do a complete switchover to 6800 or 9000 including bottom bracket. english thread is english tread.  

I would love to up grade to 7800 non-compact , but I'm not comfortable shopping for used parts on ebay.....  

A compact works fine with the std braze on hanger. I have two and they both work fine. The gap is slightly bigger then recommened but it it doesen't effect the shifting.  

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!  

You still need to make sure it's lined up with chainrimg though. Even though it's braze there is some side ways movement.

I never regret choosing this. I love the fixed hanger on the back, geometry, and old school smooth carbon transitions, especially on the rear stay. I've been using this when doing Emergency Tree Service in a nearby area.

Nothing weakness found.

Excellent Bike. In my third season on it and I absolutely love the carbon frame for the chip and seal roads in Western PA. The carbon frame removes all of the harshness from the ride and still has the stiffness of aluminum. I came from riding an all aluminum Cannondale and I can't believe the difference in ride quality.

Had it for 17 years since new in 2003 and its never let me down, smooth and comfy, perfect fit, enjoy climbs with it and it has a good kick/acceleration.. upgraded wheels and put carbon seatpost/stem and bars on it and it made it purr even more! Long Live the 5200!

I guess todays ultralight superbikes make it seem like a heavy old doddering relic but it really isnt..I've tried the odd lighter frame but they seem to lack something the 5200 has always had, it always feels like it wants to give me back more which is why ive always loved it.

I bought a Trek 5200 OCLV used as a form of exercise but started to ride as a commuter (26 miles per day). At the time, I weighed 240lbs and would carry a backpack with clothes. I gave this bike hell and did for two years as a daily commuter. It's a strong bike, light enough for commute and race, durable enough for an overweight guy like me (50 lbs lighter from day one of commuting).

Wish it would last forever

My 5200 is a 2006 triple chain ring Ultegra gruppo model that has performed flawlessly for nearly 10 years. For its era, it is very light, stiff, but with enough compliance to feel smooth at full gas speed. It has good power transfer to wheel when compared with my recent purchase of the Trek Emonda SL5. It does not quite have the climbing giddy-up that I note with the Emonda, but then it rides much smoother. The only improvement made was to switch out wheel set for Mavic Open Pro with Ultregra hub.

There is no weakness in my opinion!

After thousands of mile on the "52" I still get a kick out of how it performs.

Sure, stead, fast

3-4 pounds heavier than some of the newer bikes out there.

Bought this bike close to ten years ago. It does close to everything very well. The only way it's shown it's age is in the weight area where newer technologies have resulted in lighter frames. Recently swapped out the wheels which has breathed new life into it. Came with Ultegra 6500 which continues to perform very well despite only having 9 gears(who needs more?)

Climbs extremely well - descends even better :-). I love the fixed hanger on the back, geometry, and old school smooth carbon transitions, especially on the rear stay. I can also sit on the top tube and pose like a pro racer, which is easier than the new compact frames.

It's not a fair comparison, but I ride a Speed Concept most of the time, and can definitely tell the ol' 5200 has a little flex in the BB under extreme load (for me, that's north of 350 watt efforts for short duration) but not enough for me to want to switch to a newer frame or one of the open molds (although I have been tempted by the FM028 and FM015...)

I purchased my 5200 (the nude carbon model) in 2003 and am the original owner. I ride and train primarily for long course triathlon, but the 5200 gets a few races and events each season and is my go-to for technical rides or mountain climbing. This past winter I pulled the entire grouppo and replaced with the dark glossy ultegra 10 speed. Also just mounted new Zipp 101's with Michelin Pro Race 3's. This baby will move. I've dropped newer bikes, and have also been dropped myself by steel bikes, old Serrottas, etc. (at least no one with a burley trailer has passed me yet.) From a reliability perspective - the 52 has never let me down.

Great on Century Rides

On slow rides not the best road feel

Have this bike for 8 years. It's phenomenal

Fast light, agile. Great ride.

Poor customer service, weak frame that'd broke after 5 years. The bontager race liters almost killed me when the rim crack on a step downhill. I 've heard that many people had similar experiences. Trek should have recalled these and instead they wait for them to fail.

Great bike that trek has ignored its faults. I think trek has figured we have the reputation, let's not fix the flaws, make money and let people assume it is their fault.

Hard fast accel smooth ride

Bottom bracket flex even though it is lateral stiff and its not really a problem

This is a Trek 5900 found this ultra lite with less than a 100 mi on it. Been sitting in garage for years had orginal tires dry rotted but still ridable. What a great bike 15lbs 4oz 56cm will upgrade to sti new tires convert to 9sp . I ride ti most of time wanted to try carbon without big cash outlay wow!

Gazprom Neft building a hydrogen production facility at its Omsk Refinery

Gazprom Neft has begun construction of a standalone 12,300 tonne per year capacity hydrogen production unit at its Omsk Refinery. This processing facility will provide high-purity (99.9 percent) hydrogen for new and reconstructed hydrotreatment facilities, intended to reduce the sulphur content of motor-fuel components (blending agents). It will also eliminate hydrotreatment processes’ dependence on the rate of utilisation of catalytic reforming units, from which hydrogen is currently produced as a by-product. The commissioning of a standalone hydrogen source will allow greater stability in the production of Euro-5 motor fuels, higher output of light petroleum products from the Omsk Refinery, and higher production volumes of high-octane gasolines. Implementation of the project is being implemented as part of a comprehensive modernisation programme at the Omsk Refinery being undertaken by Gazprom Neft since 2008. The project for the new hydrogen production facility has been developed by Russian design institute Omskneftekhimproject. Gazprom Neft’s investment in construction of the facility stands at RUB3.4 billion, and the facility is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2017.
