Here is my main bike (only thing that runs right now), used for getting around town, commuting to school/work, chasing rats in alleys. 1989 trek 330 (I figured this out from brochures on the fine website vintage-trek.com) that a friend found behind a dumpster in north carolina while on a road trip. Aparently it was intact as a 12-speed sport bike then which rode fine, but when he brought it home a really weird roommate of his decided he wanted to "tinker" with it, and ****ed up the drivetrain for no reason (looked like he stuck a screwdriver in the rd and bent it along with the hanger). My friend passed it on to me to play with and I painted it (brown rattle-can-I love brown bikes) and completely rebuilt it. Nothing too special, surly/mavic rear wheel, front wheel whatever the hell it came with (I want to change to non-qr axle to simplify locking up) new tektro dual-pivot brake, profile stoker bars, oh and a used selle italia flite saddle. This is basically the nicest bike I've ever owned, mainly because it is light, fast, and everything runs nice and smoothly. I've also learned a tremendous amount about bike repair/construction in the past 6-8 months I've been playing around with it. And I love riding fixed. It wears me out, but the simplicity and connection to the terrain are great qualities.
