’00 Crown Jewel

Owner: Patrick McQuown

From: Maryland, USA

Paint: Team Proteus

Comments: Well, had the bike and then had my kid so I didn’t ride too much – maybe a few K or so. Then in 2003 got a Trek 5500 through the team sponsorship and kept the bike for 9 months and one day rode the IF crown Jewl. WOW.

Two days later sold the Trek on Ebay and am back to riding the crown jewl, though it’s heavier than the TREK OCLV it rides jsut as nice, is maybe even stiffer and fits me way, way, way better. Plus it’s a much more animated ride. I love it!
