Trek Madone headset/bb help

Alanbt · 21-01-2023 1:27pm #1

Hi. I picked up second hand Madone frameset, few years old but seller didn’t have the exact year.

For picking up new BB & headset would anyone know the exact spec for this frame? It’s been respected so the paint job isn’t a clue.

Bb90 is the usual BB so more looking to confirm headset so I don’t buy the wrong one.

Any trek heads know?

Thanks!

The paint job really makes ageing the frame a little more difficult.

Are you certain it is a Madone as the SLR nomenclature did not come in until 2019 and it doesn't look like any of the models since then.

Best advice I can give is to go through the trek back catalogues and match frame shape. The back catalogue does give detailed specifications including headset and BB but it may take some time.

Thanks. I’ll have a look there.

no, I’m not convinced is SLR but then again I didn’t pay SLR price.

Some homework for me

Is the frame number still visible through the paint? Might lead you to more information? Definitely doesn’t look like it’s any newer than 2019, maybe older than 2017

But did you only pay Shrek Madonna price instead.

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s older than 5/6 years anyway
