I like my old trek (a 1984 Trek 720). I paid $300 for mine when I bought it from the original owner a few years ago. All Ihad to do was air up the tires.
Then just because I could I upgraded it into my current commuter with an internal hub. Still thinking about taking it on a tour with the internal hub set up, but I would change out the rear baskets for panniers.
