Trek 730 ladies
Removed the accessories from the ladies 730. Ouch, someone drilled holes in the upper downtube to install the water bottle cage. I guess they didn't notice the screws in the lower down tube. With the seat post on backwards and the seat shoved way forward and all the way down the rider was probably pretty short. So every time they dismounted, they would get a water bottle up their bums. I once got a Trek 1250 where someone tried to drill out a cage mount insert and really buggered it up. They covered the large hole with a beer sticker. Hum, what to do. I'm not that tacky. But a decal would hide the holes and keep water out.
Two shims for the shock seat post (not oem) made sure the seat would swivel and drop no matter how tight the quick release lever was. I replaced the post with a 1-piece of the correct diameter (27.2mm). A quick tuneup and tires inflated. It rides very nicely. I'd say the ladies frame rides even smoother as this frame design has a bit more give.
