Not vintage and not a dumpster save, in fact, a failure.
I was dropping off some scrap metal this morning at the dump and spotted this recent (?) Trek Cronus in the dumpster. The handlebars were bent indicating a nasty crash. The brakes were Tiagra but I couldn't see the drivetrain.
People are not allowed to pull bikes out of the bin due to liability issues and I was in a hurry and not in the mood to be hassled by staff. I now wish I pulled it out as I now realize it's likely a carbon frame and shouldn't have been in that bin in the first place. Obviously I would never try riding it or God forbid, selling the frame but I was interested in the parts. I hope whoever unloaded the bin salvaged it.
