The Trek Y Foil is a triathlon/road bike with a carbon OCLV frame. The frame comes in colors like Trek  Red, Team  Yellow and Ice  Inkwell.

It was first released in 1998 and again in 1999. Due to the frame materials and other factors, we estimate that this bike weighs around 20 pounds. The Y Foil is fully rigid.

The Y Foil comes with Shimano components, including an ICON TTT Evol 2002 stem, a threadless, Tange-Seiki, Shimano Cane Creek headset and dual-control Shimano STI shifters.

The Y Foil has 9 speeds and has a Shimano derailleur.

It comes with kevlar Continental Grand Prix tires (622mm x 25mm) and Rolf Vector, Mavic CXP 21 Araya Super rims.

Bike models 613, 614 and 616, that are listed in the 1981 brochure, probably first appeared in late 1980.

Trek installs first automatic painting system.

Sequential frame serial numbers are begun in late 1980 (1981 model year), and run at least through 2000. They are used only for US made bikes. Numbering started with 000001.

Frame Models 412 (410?), 610, 510, 710, 750, and 950. Bicycle Models 412, 613, 614, 616, 515, 516, 715, 716, 719, 759, and 959.

Model 959 frames (Columbus tubing) have fully-sloping fork crowns, with cutouts on the side and a cutout in the bottom bracket shell where it joins the downtube. The 81, 82, and 83 75X and 95X frames and bikes were probably zenith of traditional frames by Trek. They had Cinelli bottom bracket shells, reinforcements at the brake and chain stay bridges, and reinforcements for the water bottle bosses. In 1984, Trek began using cast fastback seatlugs with seat stay sockets and Trek bottom bracket shells. Excellent parts, but just nontraditional.

Seattube graphics same as Model 7XX and up for 1981, and headbadge same as 1980-81. Model number does not appear on frame.

Prior to 1982, derailleur cables on Treks were routed above the bottom bracket. According to the 1982 brochure, on the upper level bikes, Model 728 and above, cables were routed below the bottom bracket. On Model 614 and below cables continued to be routed above the bottom bracket. (Some variations to the brochure configurations have been reported.)

The brochure shows the 728/720 with center pull brakes. Some 728/720s were supplied with cantilever brakes.

9XX frames have fully-sloping fork crowns, with cutouts on the side and a cutout in the bottom bracket shell where it joins the downtube. They also had Cinelli bottom bracket shells, reinforcements at the brake and chain stay bridges, and reinforcements for the water bottle bosses.

The Japanese Connection - Beginning in 1981 or 1982 (and extending through at least 1986), Trek used Tange, a subcontractor in Japan, to build some frames and parts of frames. The 300 and some 400 series were a complete (unpainted) frame and fork from Japan, but painted and assembled in Waterloo. The 500, 600, and 800 (MTB) series had the main triangle built in Waterloo, the pre-assembled rear stays were attached, and the whole works painted and assembled in Waterloo. The 700, 900, and 170 series were completely built, painted, and assembled in Waterloo. Some 600 series were all Reynolds 531 frames. Trek had Reynolds seatstays and chain stays shipped from England to Japan, where they were assembled into the rear triangle assemblies and then shipped to Waterloo to be attached to the main frame.

Bike Models 400, 500, 520, 560, 600, 620, 630, 640, 700, 720, 760, 970, 170, and 850. Seventy-five Model 730s (all Reynolds 531) were made, but the model was not included in the brochure.

Seattube graphics same as 1981-82, headbadge same as 1980-82. Model number appears on the chainguard on the right chainstay.

970 (Columbus tubing) and 170 (Reynolds 753 tubing) frames have fully-sloping fork crowns, with cutouts on the side and a cutout in the bottom bracket shell where it joins the downtube. This is the last year Columbus tubing is used on production Treks.

In 1983 the derailleur cables were routed below the bottom bracket for all models. This configuration changed in 1985 when the rear derailleur cable was routed through the right chainstay on some bikes (see 1985).

Trek installs automatic brazing machinery.

F or most models, rear dropout spacing increases from 120mm to 126mm.

First use by Trek of Reynolds 501 Chromalloy tubing on some bikes. Thicker wall thickness, and consequently heavier, than 531, but also more robust and a bit less expensive. The last use was for the 1985 model year.

First use by Trek of Mangalloy 2001 tubing, made by Tange, It was used on the Model 400, which was the first "International Series" bike. The frame was made in Japan but painted and built up in the U.S. Mangaloy 2001 was last used by Trek in 84.

Trek introduces the "Rough Terrain" model 850 (a mountain bike).

New headbadge, white or brass background with black graphic, is used from 1984-87.

Upper level frames (760, 770, 170, 720) have cast fastback seat lugs with "TREK" cast into the sides.

Some 400, 420 and 460 frames or complete bikes were made in Japan by an outside contractor. These bikes have a 9-character numeric serial number on the lower seat tube, rather than on the bottom of the bottom bracket.

"TREK" graphic with model number is on the sides of the downtube (with no color wrap). "TREK" and Model number also appears on the right chainstay.

Reynolds 531CS (Club Sport) frame tubing is first used by Trek. According to Terry at Reynolds-Cycle.com: "531CS was a special set, supplied mainly to Trek. The main triangle was butted 531 and the rear stays were CrMo (501)." The fork was taper gauge CrMo (501). (Info. provided by Dickey Greer.)

Last year Mangalloy 2001 tubing was used by Trek.

Trek renames "Rough Terrain" bikes to "All Terrain" bikes. Both of these are mountain bikes (as we know them today).

Racing Frame models 450, 460, 470, 560, 660, 670, 760, 770, 170, Sport, Models 300, 400, 410, 420, 500, 510, 520, 600, Touring, Models 620, 720, All-Terrain, Models 830, 850, 870 , (Models 300, 450, 470 and 170 were sold in 1985, but did not appear in the 85 brochure. ) The cast fastback seat lugs with "TREK" cast into sides are extended to lower level bikes.

Graphics: model number on right chainstay, "USA" on sides of seat stay, "TREK" on sides of downtube. Same headbadge as 1984.

In 1985, Trek routed the rear derailleur cable through the right chainstay on some of its bikes. In 85 (according to the catalog and site visitors) it was done on Models 450, 460, 470, 510, 520, 560, 600, 620, 660 and 670. On the other bikes the cable was shown routed below the bottom bracket but outside the chainstay. The 85 brochure shows the 400, 410, and 420 cables routed outside the chainstay but some of these bikes have been reported with through-the-chainstay cables. This change was made sometime after the brochure photos were made, perhaps during the model year.

First year Trek used True Temper tubing (steel). It was used in lower- to mid-level bikes.

Trek introduces the adhesive-bonded, internally lugged Aluminum Model 2000, designed by Tim Isaac. It was available through 1988 as a bike or frameset and in 1989 as a frameset only.

Trek replaces the automatic brazers with a robotic system that assembles, aligns and brazes in a single pass.

All-Terrain bikes (Mountain bikes) have traditional fork crowns (not unicrown forks).

T his is the last year the Trek catalog lists the (touring) model 720 : -( . Actually, according to the serial number list, Trek built no 720s during all of calendar year 1985. (Thanks to Joe Bond for pointing this out.) The one 720 listed in 85 was in for repair. The long-distance touring craze of the late 70s and early 80s was over. The pricey 720 was just no longer in demand.

Graphics: "USA" on sides of seattube, "TREK" on sides of downtube, model name on top tube, no model designation on right chainstay. Same headbadge as 1984 and 85.

Through-the-chainstay rear derailleur cable routing was done on all models except the 300 and 310.

Trek introduces the carbon fiber composite model 2500. It first appears in the 1987 catalog. The frames consisted of carbon tubes bonded to aluminum lugs. This frame configuration later included Models 2300 and 2100.

The 420 and 330 continue to have traditional fork crowns.

"Splash" paint was used on several of the bikes. The bike was painted a solid color and then a second color was splattered onto the frame, resulting in fine threads of contrasting color.

Models 520 and 400 (plus various carbon- and aluminum-framed road bikes and mountain bikes).

The 8 speed cassette, with 130mm dropout spacing, is introduced on t he top level road bike, the Model 2500. The other road bikes are still 7 speed.

Steel TIG welded (no lugs) road bike, model 520 (plus various carbon- and aluminum-framed road bikes and mountain bikes).

1999 is the Last year of the Y-Foil 66 and 77 aerodynamic road bikes. The UCI (International Cycling Union) outlawed beam-type bikes for racing beginning in 2000. Trek production of the Y-Foil stopped abruptly. These slippery bikes are still prized by their owners and are used commonly in triathlons.

Aluminum-framed road bikes are of welded construction starting in 1999. Earlier aluminum road bikes were bonded using internal lugs.

Trek 1999 Y Foil 77 Older Road Bike

1999 Trek Y Foil 77, road race & triathlon, Shimano Dura-Ace components, ICON Air Rail SRG fork

• USER REVIEWS

Great Trek customer service, frame design slices the air better than newer lighter frames, excels on long rides, no flex sprints(monocoque molding), no numbness because the beam smooths out the road. Attention grabber from riders and non riders. Nice wall art when not riden.

Cross winds with deep V rims are felt. Frame not legal in some races. No longer in production.

OK so my fellow team riders called it the circus bike when I first built the Y-77 in 2000, but I was the one laughing when they couldn't catch me on climbs and especially on the downhills. Most of them are now riding carbon or Ti/carbon frames trying to duplicate this out of production Trek marvel. I train and race on this bike 150-200 miles a week even though it was built and set up for centuries. I have tried to stray, but can't find anything that replaces the smooth ride, fast easy sprints and attention that the Y-77 gives. If you have the chance to buy or ride this bike you'll never regret it.

Looks, ride and Trek support!

I had problems with the braking on the Rolf Vector Pros. I got the first ones off the lot. There was no machined braking surface. Trek exchanged the wheels without a question. When I still had problems, they swapped out the brake pads with the softer Durace model. This made a huge difference. Thank you Trek and Bicycle Tech (My dealer)

I previously rode a Trek 5200 which I loved and shared many a century with and every morning ride. When the Y77 was released, my friend/dealer had a Y66 in the store and told me to take it home for a week just for fun. I had no initial intention of buying this bike but fell instantly in love. I did NOT like the Ultegre groupo or the wheels so I opted for the Y77 with full Durace and Rolf Vector Pro wheels. As much as an equipment freak as I am, and I like a new bike every 2-3 years, I will never sell this bike. The ride and looks are second to none and boy it's comfy and it moves! As a creative director, I truly appreciate it's timeless design and elegance with the practical benefits of comfort. I would only like to upgrade my bars, stem and seatpost in the very near future.

Unbelievable acceleration, stiff BB, smoothest ride on the road! Looks

unapproved design (too bad) Tricky in strong side winds. (I wouldn't recommend deep dish rims.) Looks lastly..... you can't get them anymore!

Thought I'd add my long term usage review to the list here. The other day I went out wanting to buy a new bike, just because I was a little bored and wanted the latest. Knowing the owner of the shop allowed me to take several bikes out for long rides. I tried the Trek TT...well looks cool and is fast but not an everyday bike. The Cervelo Soloist was nice but it didn't fit me quite right. Last I tried a Litespeed Ti which was my least favourite. Well here I am today with my 1999 Trek Y-Foil 77, it is by far the best ride. The only upgrades on my bike are the Spox wheelset & Syntace cow horn bars (I prefer them over drops) No arrow bars though, my Tri days are over. Probably have 20 000km on the frame, without a hint of a problem. I'm not a big fan of it's looks today but did like the look when I bought it. I'm 6ft ,180lbs and love 3-5 hour rides through hilly terrain. If you find one your size buy it, disregard what the bike shop guy & your buddy says 'cus this is a sweet ride! PS: I am interested in the Cervelo R2.5 can't wait to try one.

Trek 2300, Quintana Roo Kilo

no weaknesses

The bike is set up as a time trial but I road ride with it as well. Wheelset is the Hed Jet 60 (a bit heavy but still fly’s), Vision bar (again a bit heavy but makes up in aero), with Record crank/BB, Dura Ace bar end shifters and the rest Ultegra. All together the bike is a tad heavier than my past bikes but blows them all away in comfort & performance. Climbs pretty well along with her sprinting ability. I've had Look's, Fuji Team's, Cannandale's, Avanti's, etc and the Foil is so much greater that I sold all the rest. So comfortable, very rigid, extremely aero and very fast. Lacks a tiny bit in climbs and sprints but still blows away other climbers and sprinters. If you can get a hold on a frame I strongly suggest you do so and build one up and then you will know what I'm talking about. Super product, too bad they stopped making them. Another thing is that it's not spongy like the softrides as it's a one piece carbon. Enjoy...

no similar ride except between a Look and a Zipp bike...

Very cool look...I get stopped all the time by roadies wanting a closer look. And much easier on the crotch while still being rock solid accelerating and climbing.

None, only that Trek discontinued in 1999, but perhaps these reviews will cause them to bring it back!

I''ve had a Trek 5200 for a year, and I just had to have a Y-77. Chain Reaction sold their last 56cm frameset the week before, so I cruised eBay and got the frame, fork, headset, quill, and seatpost for $750. I love my 5200, but the Y-77 is one better--it''s easier on the family jewels over a long ride. I feel a nice cushioning over bumps with the "beam" suspension of the seat, while the rest of the bike is rock solid. Descending is slightly faster than my 5200, and I''m glad I went Dura Ace on the shifters because my stock Ultegra STIs just crapped out on my 5200. But now I get to ride my Y-Foil more!

Trek 5200 triple

I am without a road bike for a few weeks, but that is it.

I love my y-foil. Every other review that is written braggs about how wonderful the bike rides, so my typing it would be reduntant. But this is where Trek shines, while other companies do not (ie Cannondale). I dropped my chain into the chainstay during a ride and it gouged the carbon. I sent it back to Trek. My LBS said it would be about 200 for Trek to put in a new stay. When they stripped the paint, they found a crack in the beam, so Trek is building me a new frame for free. I even get to pick the color. I had repainted the frame and I bought the bike second hand. Trek could have voided the warranty for either reason and stuck me with a broken frame, but being the good business that they are, they held to the warranty and are GIVING me a new bike. WAY to go TREK. When i buy a new bike, I am definitely going to buy another TREK. My first real bike was a trek, and so will my last.

strong good riding,light

rolf wheels must be purchased by the set only

Trek 5500 is a very good bike.Although dealers should explain to buyers that if a wheel (rolf Sestieres) is damaged from a crash or some other means then the purchaser might have to purchasa both.A set of wheels is priced around 800.00 not including taxes.This means every time you have to replace one then it will be over 800 dollars.Also I recently discovered that Trek owns Rolf wheel company.I recently crashed my 5500 trek damaging my front wheel and after a lot of long distance phone calls and several emails to trek I was offered a front wheel at two different prices.The first price was at 400.00 and the second price was at 57% of 800.00 by another employee at Trek.I found out today that one Trek store in Atl.had the front wheel at 324.00. and another would sell me one at 299.All the other stores that I called would only sell me both and not break the set up.Well I think I will put my trek 5500 up for sale and purchase another brand.I just want everyone out there that is interested in buying a bike aware of this problem that I have gone through and maybe if one is going to purchase a trek 5500 they might want to ask the dealer about the rolf wheel situation whereas if they damage one will they have to buy a set!Watch out for wild car drivers!!! Tommy

Superior design, user comfort, stability

No longer made

Qualified for RAAM on my first long ride. Smooth ride over 508 miles, climbed like a champ and descended faster than any other bike. I also rode it in Ironman races with good results. Replaced the STI's with bar ends and stock handlebars with the Profile Carbon X. I can ride all day in the aero, in comfort, and have legs left to run or bike deep into the night. Dosn't bounce like the pure beam bikes which allows me to vary rhythm during ultras. The bike stands out visually and is definatelly the most aero on the road. This bike has been no small part of my progression up the cycling food chain.

Softride, Titan Flex, traditional titanium, carbon and aluminum bikes

I picked up the new bike today and I went out for a 15 mile ride. It was pretty windy so I got a good work out. I went over some bumpy roads on purpose to see if I would notice a difference from my 5200. There is definately much less road vibration. The frame is however still very stiff and accelerates quickly. My new vector pro wheels sound a bit louder when coasting then my vector comp wheels were. When I went down some pretty steep hills, reaching 43 miles per hour I was not blown around by the cross wind. The bike feels about the same weight as my 5200, I did not notice any difference. On the flats I had no problem reaching 27 miles per hour. So far I like the way it rides and I have no regrets about trading in my trek 5200. I rode into Newtown to pick up a set of allen wrench's so I could adjust my seat; I misplaced my old one. I am not sure if this is good or bad but the bike got alot of stares. I hope it doesn't get too cold tommorow so I can ride again. You are going to love riding this bike and you will not see many on the road. If you dont buy, you are missing out on a great ride.

they dont make the bike anymore and I you never seem to see many. I would love to know the real reason they stopped making this bike. water bottle holder for 54 cm frame does not accomodate standard size bottle. difficult to find rear bike rack that works off a hitch

So far I like the bike. I am concerned about durability though. I special ordered this bike after seeing a picture in a old 99 catalog. I had just bought a 2000, trek 5200 last spring and put about 2000 miles on my 5200. I brought the 5200 in for a new chain and cluster and ended up trading in the bike adding some money and getting this. bottom line: the bike feels simillar to the 5200 on flats, more comfortable then the 5200 on bumpy roads, more aerodynamic on down hills ie less interferance with cross wind. better looking then the 5200. After I have a few hundred miles I will post another review.

trek 5200, 2300

It looks like it's doing 30mph when it's leaning up against the car. The bike feels fast, the beam provide just enough suspension to soak up the bumps. I did a double century 3/27/99 and I didnot have any soreness in the saddle area. The bike weighs 19lbs with '99 Dura Ace.

Where do you put the pump?? A little noisey in the bottom bracket. Need to get over the look of the bike.

I think the Y-Foil is a great bike! If you are planning on doing any long distance riding you need one of these bikes. Traditional racer types might give you a hard time about the bike, but anyone into ultra cycling will give you two thumbs up.

Over beam bikes such as the Softride. What I don't like about it was the bounce of the beam, it is much more pronounced.
