I had bought a brand new 1976 Trek TX900 back towards the end of 1976; back then they only came as a frame and fork, after working out a deal with Open Air bicycle shop in Santa Barbara Calif, I had all Campy Nuovo Record components put on, can't recall the brand of the tubular wheels and hubs but they weren't Campy, anyway, had the bike for just over a year when I sold it. I got strange looks and opinions from girls wondering why I bought a bicycle that cost more than my car! So I sold it and the car and bought a better car to get more dates, that ended my cycling life for a few years and went back to running. It was a nice bike, but it was a bit whippy from flex, but that was in the mid 70's and all bikes were like that back then, it wasn't till the mid 80's did steel improve immensely to tame most of that whippy feeling.
