Bikes: At one point it was a Trek 700 something. Now it have Velocity Psycho wheels, a tape job. Thumb shifters (Shimano Deore). Corncob grouping, and drop bar ends all wrapped up in tape.

It would be technically possible to build up from the LHT frameset using 7-speed components. Or to do the opposite and buy the LHT complete and sell/trade the 9 speed drivetrain / shifters for a 7-speed. If he has a 7-speed bike which has the components he likes, he can switch them over to a LHT and sell what he takes off.

All this of course would take some technical knowledge.
