I lurrrrrrv my 1990 520. It's been in several configurations over the last couple years, and done it all very well. It's a real swiss-army bike - even more so because the same frame was used by Trek for their 750 hybrid and their 900 series mountain bike around the same time. Same frame, different brazeons, and different wheel sizes. I don't do any more long distance touring, so the frame is going to get a proper repaint and rebuilt as a monstercross/"adventure" rig. Many thumbs up!

My favorite brakes are the Tektro BX3 mini vs, they give just the right amount of clearance without looking awkward, imo. Works with fenders!
