I just finished rebuilding this 1990 Trek 950, 22.5 in frame. True Temper lugged steel. I bought the frame, fork, crank, bb, headset, seat post, brakes and derailers on Ebay for $100. The chainrings, headset, bb and rear derailer were shot, so I had the headset rebuilt at Bike World and replaced the other shot parts. Here is the list of replacement stuff:
Wheels: Rhynolite rims, White Industries hubs from Craigslist (new rims, spokes, rebuilt hubs)
Tires: 2.35 Schwalbe Big Apple from JensonUSA
Stem: Nitto Technomic quill from Rivendell
Bars: NItto Albatross aluminum 54cm from Rivendell
Grips: Rivendell cork from Portugal
Levers: Tektro mt bike brake levers from Rivendell
Tape: Japanese cloth from Rivendell
Shifters: Bar end Silver friction shifters from Rivendell
Chainrings: Sugino 46/34/24 from JensonUSA
Seat: Brooks B-68 off Ebay Flybike
Rear Der: Shimano XT long cage from Bike World
Rear Rack: Bontrager from Bike World
I just ordered the MKS Grip King (Lambda) pedals, a NItto Mini Front Rack, and Wald basket, all from Rivendell.
This bike rides extremely well, and I am having a lot of fun with it. The tires are just wonderful. Check out this website:
