Bikes: Custom Bantam AdventureBike,93 Bontrager Race mtb, 07 Lemond Poprad disc cyclocross, Black Mountain Cycle Road, 86 Bridgestone Mile 112, 89 Bridgestone MB-2, 93 Trek 750, 90 Trek 750, 90 Trek 930, 90 Diamondback Ascent.

I added another...

I just picked up my third lugged Trek 750. This one is a 19" 1990 in the black/bright green color. I already have a 17" in the intense blue/white and that's my daughter's bike. I posted earlier about my 1993 21" in the black/blue fade.

I had been looking at this new one on CL in Bend, OR for over a month. Looked in good condition, asking price was $70, and it just wasn't selling. I was heading over to the east side from Portland for the weekend and contacted the seller to see if it was available and whether he's accept $50. He said sure since it was missing the grips and needed a tune-up.

Pretty much stock. A couple scratches and a very small dimple in top tube but mostly great and no rust. Rear wheel seriously out of true and someone replaced the stock 13-13 Accushift freewheel with a small-block Maillard 7-speed. I didn't really try it but I imagine it doesn't shift well. also the rear black diacompe canti brakes have been replaced with silver shimano cantis. I've had a couple bikes with the 3x7 Accushift pods and I hate 'em. Ugly, and take a proprietary cable, so this bike will definitely get new shifters. I may keep the Suntour XCM derailleurs and go friction mode. Not sure.
