I'm posting this in both the Hybrid and C&V sections, as I think folks in both forums will be interested. I bought this the other night and I'm pretty pleased to own it. I saw this ad 19 minutes after it was posted, and I was lucky to be the first to contact the gentleman who owned it. I gave the man every one of the 65 dollars he was asking for it, and would have probably paid twice what I did. I originally thought it is a 1995 model, but it is a 1997 model. Trek's name for this color is "Ice Inkwell Blue" and it's a pretty stunning color. I wish you could see in pictures the depth that you can see in person. It's not a deep metal flake, but the mixture of color in this paint makes it really interesting (a lot of blue, but just slightly towards the purple spectrum). The decals are a bright silver, which really show nice. And the "Made in USA" decal ALWAYS shows nice (at least to an American like myself!).

The 750 series uses a double-butted cromoly frame and fork. The fork has the mid-point rack mounts, as well as a fender mount down by the dropouts. The steerer tube runs up through a Tange headset. All the components are original to the bike -- STX drivetrain with Alivio low profile cantilever brakes. As you can see, there are no brake pads on it at the moment -- the ones it had were pretty loaded with aluminum and the rims were pretty scored. The rims sanded down pretty good, but I'm not running the bike until I get some new pads on it.

What's really interesting is the Shimano Silent Clutch freehub. From what I gather, this was introduced on the 1996 model, and it was exclusive to the 750 (at least in the MultiTrack line). It doesn't use ratcheting pawls, but uses rollers and cams to engage the hub. It's COMPLETELY silent, and activation is instant. It was commonly used on police-spec bikes as well (to reduce the sound from the bike). It had the original (and rotted) Trek Invert II tires. For now, I've fitted a set of Kenda Kwick Tendril tires I have on hand, but it looks like I could go up to about a 42mm tire.

All of this was very mid-range in its day, but I think it's really neat how durable this stuff is, and how complete this particular bike is. There are some storage marks on the frame, but it's clear to me that the bike generally saw little actual use.

Immediate needs are a set of brake pads. Otherwise, it's a rider for me. Frame size is perfect (21"), and the riding position feels good. My current primary ride is a 2015 Trek Verve 3, which is a much taller/larger bike (suspension fork, so the frame is setup taller for that). We'll see if this 750 is comfortable enough to replace it as my go-to bike. I can't wait to get some miles on this.
