This bike isn't a Trek.

Someone has just put some Trek decals on some other bike of unknown make, it doesn't look like it was a very expensive bike either.

A 'HC' decal on a Trek frame refers to the frame being made from carbon, your frame isn't made from carbon.

I'd say the decals are from a early to mid 2000's Trek 9.8 Elite which was made from carbon.

* The rear brake adapter looks to be attached incorrectly.
* The brake rotors are on the wrong way around, the 'arms' on them should be angled in the opposite direction.


I hope you didn't pay too much for this bike.
