1985 Trek 520 done.....For now

My Trek project bike is done for now. I plan to ride the heck out of it then make adjustments as necessary.

Background: This bike belonged to my sister. She bought it new and rode it for a couple of years but then got into Mountain biking, it’s been stored in her garage ever since.

Condition: The bike had a lot of grime from the storage. It was hard to tell what was good and what was bad. I believe the only component that was broken was the rear derailleur. Unfortunately this bike had the Maillard Helicomatic hubs. I decided that a new wheel set was appropriate.

Note: This bike is set up as a commuter. I put on the Freddy Fenders and the Tubus rack.

Upgrades:
• Mavic Open Pro wheels
• 7-speed 105 hubsets 126 mm, 32 holes
• 7 speed cassette
• Continental Ultra-Gatorskins Tires
• Nitto Technomic Stem
• Ritchey Biomax Handlebars
• Cinelli Cork bar tape
• Cane Creek Brake Levers
• Ritchey seat post
• Brooks B-17N Saddle
