This is the most expensive and valuable frame i got so far in ebay. LOOK Tour De France KG381i limited edition frame. Only 300 frames are made to commemorade the 100th anniversary of TDF. I was lucky to get this frame no. 294 at quite a cheap price.

The groupset and wheelset from the trek 5500 is put onto this Scott Frame. Had a very hard and unpleasant time selling this bike off as the frame got a huge dent on the seat stay.

Lesson learnt: Never buy dented frames even if it is cheap!!! This bike is built to get rid of the unwanted parts i had, such as EC90 handlebar and Ea70 seatpost. In the end sold it off at a very low price

I was helping my coach to sell off her Trek 5500, spec-ed with full ultegra parts and wheelset. This bike rebuilt and sold to my teammate, Caine. He wanted a SS bike, so only sold him the frameset, while the wheelset is a generous gift from my coach. The remaining parts are leftovers from my sec sch teacher and myself. It will look better if i use a a black quill stem, bullhorn and saddle.
