A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones
1993 Trek 750
I picked up a 1993 Trek 750 a few years back. It's in great shape and I've always liked the lugged Trek hybrids. It has the same geometry as the 520 but it was a heck of a lot cheaper. The frame has been hanging on a hook and I figured this thread will give me an excuse to build it up. So this goes into the from the frame up category. I plan to build this into a "modern" bike (or at least as modern as I want to ride) with 3 x 9 gearing (or maybe 3 x 7), bar end shifters, cantilevers, and 700 x 38c tires. Below are 3 pics of the bike as "found in the wild." It's been stripped down to the frame. I did a cross country tour back more than a few years ago on a 1983 Trek 720. I'm thinking this bike will make a fine replacement for the 720 to do some touring . . .
