1997 Trek 800 frame, here, around 40K total miles. Daily urban workhorse, trailer rig, kid rig, commuter, off road/trail touring setup. Rebuilt many times. Maybe 7th rear wheel, 4th or 5th front. Big Apples, hand built velocity aeroheat wheels, Brooks Flyer Special, Surly Long Haul Trucker fork, front and rear racks, etc., on the long but low and compact frame make for a comfortable, versatile, and surprisingly responsive ride. Solid old frame, 19.5, bit small for dedicated touring but nice stand over for trails, trailers, and traffic.
