87 Trek 520 which beside the replacement rear wheel and FW is pretty stock.
Wider bars, taller stem, plusher pedals and new bar tape. Not pictured Panaracer Paselas still need to find a Saddle. not a fan of the Vetta.
That's such a super slick bike- as is- and replacing the narrow bars- that will totally rule.
I had one of those saddles as well- I didn't like it either- HOWEVER- I've heard stories that they're somewhat desirable by the people who dig them- I think there's some kind of suspension built into them- unlike a lot of other saddles of this type.
