The old infamous Trek has been resurrected!! I put it all back together today, and adjusted the drive train, put on the koolstop pads, and except for a few minor adjustment issues and zip-ties (I don't have any, and the store on base is out) it's rideable again! I took it up and down my road today in the snow, and didn't have many issues. Bike seems like it will be fine in the snow, I was tackling some decent snow piles with no issues.... HT Action!!!

anyway... just thought Y'all would like to know that this nightmare is over.... now I need another project lol.

Since this is my mess around, "I don't care TOO much bike" now I ran full length housing on front a rear brakes, and put some housing between wear the cable goes from the FD to the first cable stop, and such, to keep the roost of it.
Got LX FD and RD... It's no longer dead lol.... for now......
all thats left is to ziptie the cables and stuff, because right now its electrical taped.
