That is nice to hear... if I was looking to replace my Shasta one of those late 80's Trek's would sit very highly on my list and we have converted many of these into some very capable and utilitarian machines.

My Shasta might be my hardest working bike as it replaced my Trek hybrid as my all around commuter and utility bike... just swapped the wheels between the Shasta and Cascade and fitted Marathons which makes the bike a little livelier and quicker on the road, although the ride is not quite as nice with these as it was with the Schwalbe Silentos.

Also upgraded the rear d to a Shimano DX from the Shimano Light Action which makes for a quieter and smoother shift.
