Nice match with the VP pedals. And nobody cares if you’ve posted it before - this thread is explicitly for bike porn. The more pairs of round things in our faces, the better!:thumb:

A trip to vintage-trek will decide your serial number and provide the model year and their listed size. Looks like it’s ‘82/‘83-ish.

I’m not an expert, but it sounds like you’re running into fitment issues with the Trek Multitrack. I’m not sure a stem is going to solve your issue. It could be a frame size issue.

Serial number also confirms that it is a 25” made in 1982. The interesting thing is that the charts indicate that it’s a 613, not a 614. The difference is only in the components. And a 614 would...

Man, look at those steep seat and head tube angles!

It would be interesting to see an evolutionary line of MTBs from 1980 to 2020 to see how things have changed. Like the “parade of early humans.”
