I've posted a bit over in the Long Distance forum, but I'm new here in C & V. I've been lurking a bit because through randonneuring I've really come to admire lugged steel frames and all those other shiny vintage bits and pieces.

Anyway, I figured I'd dip my toe into the C&V water when I ran across an old Trek on craiglist a while back. As I took the bike apart and started cleaning things up an putting it back together I realized that this bike had never really been ridden much at all. It still had the original Trek branded tires with virtually no wear, and what seemed to be the original chain, cables, bar tape, the works. While it hadn't been ridden much, it had been stored on a fishing boat for several years so there was a lot of corrosion and a some rust, though nothing too terrible.

So here it is after some clean up, new tires, cables, chain, brake levers (sorry, I decided to go modern there), bar tape, a Brooks saddle I had sitting around and some fenders. I took it on its maiden voyage today, about 30 miles, and we got along very well. Looks like this will probably be my ride on my next 200k.
