Like spring! hit 78 this afternoon. Bit chilly in shorts at 57f on the way in but not really cold. Fog was setting in and clouded up my glasses a bit LOL. Ride home was great!
First commute with my latest build a 1984 Trek 890 "For the Urban Canyon". I picked up as a frame and fork,
Build thread that need s bit updating. Topped out the gearing on the down hills with it having a 26/36/46 crank but it goes up hills like a mountain goat.

Liking it. I usually commute on a T700 Cannondale and being a unloaded Aluminum Touring bike its a crisp ride especially on the 28mm Gatorbacks. Not a bad ride at all on the Trek. The 26x1.5's and steel frame have a nice ride but a little noodley when you get cranking on it hard and pulling on the bars. Tracks straight as an arrow.
Now has a Silver Blackburn on the back. This was suppose to be my all weather winter bike so The Brooks tape and saddle are probably moving to one of my Vintage road bikes.
