I've now ridden the Trek a bit, and the ride and fit are very nice. It might end up being a keeper. One odd thing I noticed is that the seatpost binder bolt seems to take a non-metric hex wrench. I wonder if it's original. Anyone else have one to compare? Also, the rear dropout spacing is 121mm. I would have expected 126mm by 1978, but maybe 120 was still prevalent then for even some higher-end bikes. I've got a Suntour Ultra-spaced 6-speed on it for now.
