Foolishly purchased, in desperation for a bike to own in the process of relocating from one side of the coast to the other. Decided a TREK 600+ would be a good idea. Found one but didn't really look it over well. It rode ok in the dark!

The hubs were shot, one rim lost an spoke eyelets, the RD was bent up, lots of corrosion on the AL parts. The crank had been pulled using a pully remover and was chewed up. The crowning accomplishment of PO's was the eyelettes on the DO we're drewed off! I can't stand sitting on suede saddles, either. Did I mention the rust under the rattle can paint?

And an opportunity to add drifters or bar cons:

Grabbed parts from the wrecked Motobecane Le Champion and mounted them with the exception of the BB and HS. Found a set of LF Record wheel set for $75 on CL and added rubber:

This might make a good commuter!
