TREK 5200 OCLV CARBON 120 VALUE 2004 UPGRADE

It is possible to use a Campagnolo crank on your Madone, but then it would have to be an Ultra-Torque crank. Keep in mind that with the Madone you do not have to use external bearing-cups, so you save another 40-50 grams there (in comparison to external Shimano, Sram or Campa cups). Overall the difference in weight would be 150 grams between the 2. frame weighs +/- 1080 grams in size 56, fork about 440 grams (uncut aluminum steerer tube) frame weighs +/- 980 grams in size 56, fork about 390 grams (uncut carbon steerer tube) Is it worth trying to get a 2010 frame or even paying a little more for the 6 series OCLV red carbon frame? I still have not found the weight for the OCLV black carbon frame. From what I could find it looks like my 5900 frame weighed 1250g and the fork might be 420g. I also assume the OCLV black carbon frame is lighter than my 5900.

TREK 5200 OCLV CARBON 120 VALUE 2004 UPGRADE

I assume this is an upgrade with the advances in technology over the last 8 years. I tried finding out information about it yesterday, but ended up with more questions than I started out with. I loved my 5900, but I don't know anything about the 5.5 Madone which uses the OCLV black carbon.

I was also told that my Campagnolo crank will not fit on this frame and I will need a to buy a new one. Now Trek says they will give me a new 2009 5.5 Madone frame. Trek say this can't be fixed and originally they said the frame would have to be sent back so a coupling could be attached so standard forks could be used. I have a 2001 Trek 5900 and the dropout on my fork has come lose.
