...minus a few brazes...


This is my ‘84 520 (again!) set up for New York commuter / urban assault vehicle. Fully fendered, bagged up, and ready to GIT SUM! ...groceries.
Perhaps "Sport" was '85 and '86. I haven't been over to Vintage-Trek in a while. Amazing how different your '84 and my '85 are geometrically. It looks like your '84 is set up to do some work. Nice ride.
