Bikes: 1987 Woodrup Competition - 2025 Trek Checkpoint SL 6 Gen 3 - 1987 Lotus Legend - 2024 Trek Emonda ALR Rim Brake - 1980 Trek 510 - 1988 Cannondale SR500 - 1985 Trek 670 - 1982 Trek 730

Two pictures of my beloved 1985 Peloton. She has gone through several metamorphoses from initial frame and fork purchase a few years ago, to a 1050-era 105 SIS 7-speed build, to an unknown future, to full 7400 7-speed Dura-Ace (first pic, outside - her classiest state), and finally to 10-speed Dura-Ace via downtube shifters and super light Vuelta wheels (second pic, sadly grainy). 21 lbs with pedals and she simply flies. DT shifters feel wonderful and the single pivots brakes haul us down plenty well. The Romin Evo saddle has a small "sweet spot" but once the seat angle and reach are dialed, even with jeans, it's pretty comfy and my butt stays right where it should when riding. The paint is a rich fire red with the finest metallic flake I've seen. To see it catch the sun light--really any light--never gets old. It's different seemingly every time. I will never sell this.
