found an 84 trek 560 in my grandparents old barn while cleaning it out. it used to be my uncle's until he parked it 20 years ago. reynolds 501 tubing (precursor to 531) and decent components. i cleaned the frame to bare metal (was rusted pretty bad), decided it was salvageable, repainted it with a metallic flake black paint, and before i went any further, decided to leave it geared and put on a modern 105 group. it is now my race bike, and it feels great. still riding a conversion, but might just be brazing my own track frame this summer.
