This one belongs here - '92 Trek 820 that had I not taken it would have gone to the scrap yard. As pictured here it's a Dingle Speed with 36x16 and 34x18 options; since reduced to a simple 36x16 due to a desire to swap out cranks. It's actually not a bad little errands bike, and I think I will take it to the beach next month. As shown, I have a whopping $21 in it, for a used chainring and two BMX cogs. Everything else was either on the frame or in my parts bins.
Formy purposes a 21 or 22-in would be better, but this one was FREE
The position is pretty close to my usual road bike setup
I'm rediscovering SR Super-Misspelled Randonneur bars and deciding I like them.
BMX cogs were a whopping $6.95 apiece
This shouldn't work, and it does
A two-tooth difference in chainrings
