Posted here for the historical record.

I know it's not time for the Tuesday rant, but I couldn't wait.
Here is my lastest project -- 1989 Trek 660 single speed.
I still have my original 1989 660. It was my first good racing bike.
I have been looking for the white version and found it on CL a couple of weeks ago. This bike is no virgin. It was raced hard by a local Crit racer and has a few small scars to prove it. But, overall it is in great shape and came with a full 600 7-speed group, aero seatpost and black Turbo, but missing the front wheel.
I bought it from the racer's son who said, "It was my dad's first good racing bike." Karma.
It was filthy and probably had been stored for the last 15 years. But, even so, everything was well lubed with old lube.
Torn down and rebuilt, it is a great quick ride with the 73.5/73.5 angles and feels similar to my 2007 Schwinn Madison.

Thanks all,
