i found a broken frame trek 8500 on cl, so now i have hydraulic disc brakes and 9 speeds for under $300 including the bike cost. i just got it it together and put about 10 miles on to fine tune the shifting. unfortunately i could not use the xt crankset [44/34/22] as it was just to low for street use. i am using the original trek supplied suntour 48/38/28 the rear is 11-32.
