First Vintage Trek

I've heard nice things about old Treks and finally got a chance to find out if they were true. According to the serial # list on Vintage-Trek.com it is a 1982 Trek 614. Some non-original parts including the front wheel, but definitely ridable as-is. First impression is it has a pretty nice ride. Been a loooong time since I messed with friction shifters so that will be a bit of a challenge, but it will make a fun change for shorter local rides. Here is the obligatory pic, sorry for the lack of quality:



I need to fix a couple of small surface rust spots on the rt. chainstay and put on a better set of tires, but nothing major to be done that I can see.
