Well, I wouldn't know about that, unless Murphy's law had his way with the stays immidiately after. The Park Tools were a great find, but otherwise this bicycle has turned out to be yet another semi-nightmare that I can't afford to fix.

By the way, my work is mainly on my site, The Headbadge. I've yet to partner in anything at Retro Raleighs.

I do have some news though, but I don't want anyone to get exited about this until I confirm their availability: One of the local shops might have some Trek 720s, NOS in box, for sale, in their warehouse.

I called today to confirm that these were genuine 720s and not the Multitrack hybrids. The owner of the shop says they should be genuine 720s. He says that when I go to the shop on Tuesday, he should be able to give me the rundown on his stock of these.

If all goes well, not only might I have a source for these NOS. If so, I'd be more then glad to help hook you fellows up with one of these NOS machines.

Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck. Don't count on it though - I'm making no promises...or Murphy's law will see to it that they'll be nothing but a pile of 720 Multitracks...
