Gorgeous vintage Trek for sale. Built in 1978, this TX500 is from the third year the company was in business and shows how nice the old steel Treks really were. Frame is a 56cm.
Built with Ishiwata 022 tubing, which is said to easily rival Reynolds and Colombus in ride quality, weight, and durability. Suntour GS dropouts in the rear.
The bike is in fantastic shape, especially for its age. The tires were just put on yesterday and the bike rides beautifully. And comes with a Swiss made Pletscher rear rack. The bike is too small for me so I'd love for it to end up in the care of someone who knows how special these rides are.
Specs are as follows.
- Suntour Vx-GT long cage rear derailleur
- Suntour Seven front derailluer
- Suntour Power downtube shifters(best pre-index shifters)
- Zeus brake levers with top mounted barrel adjuster and original hoods
- Shimano 500 Tourney center pull brake calipers with quick release/adjustment mechanism
- Zeus downtube mounted cable guide
- Front and rear Road Vx hubs
- MKS Sylvan Road Vx pedals
- Sugino Super Maxy crank with matching rings
- SR stem with Sakae Road Champion bars
- Newer Giant Saddle ( nice but this bike deserves a Brooks)
I'd love to get 295 for it, but I'd love to hear all fair offers.
