Friend of mine has one of those Trek 1000s. Kinda harsh ride on chipseal but not as bad as Cannondales of the era. The hidden brake cable always got me a little sprung, though.

Today I further Italo-pimped the front end of my Free Spirit. Nisi Countach laced to Record hub and shod with Vittoria Rally.

As much crap as the Rallys get (If you're gonna run cheap sew-ups, might as well run clinchers, etc) I've yet to find a better clincher for $25.
