I have two older Treks.
The first is my favorite bicycle by far. 1978 Trek 510 in chestnut. I got it as a frame almost 10 years ago. I had it built up as touring bike with a rack front and rear. The parts were an odd mix but got the job done. I rode it up until about two years ago. I discovered I had a cracked dropout on the drive side. I was super bummed to say the least. I'm contemplating how to get it fixed. Most likely I'll get a new correct replacement dropout then have to get it repainted. It'll be a process that's for sure. Right now I'm planning to build it up and hang it on my wall. One day I'll get it riding again. If anyone has a spare Suntour GS drive side dropout for sale, I want it.
I also have a 1986 400 Trek Elance. It's in great shape. All original except the rubber, housing, cables, and probably the chain. I bought it because I could, it fits me, it was in great shape and it's the year I was born.
Once I can post pics I will.
