1990 Trek 930 Lugged Drop Bar Conversion

Fully overhauled & upgraded vintage drop handlebar machine. Features upgraded Shimano Deore XT drive train with indexed bar end shifters, new Panaracer Pasela 26" x 1.5" tires, new cables/housings all around pluse brake pads. Has new Nitto Mt-10 (26.0 clamp) dirt drop stem, Soma Portola handlebars, Tektro R340 short reach brake levers, new black Kalloy seatpost. Triple front, 7 speed rear (indexed shifters are 8 speed & shift flawlessly). Currently wears a black Brooks B17 saddle which is NOT included in the price. If you would like it we can negotiate or I can sell without a saddle.

$400 & you pay shipping. Payment via PayPal.

PM me if interested

I have the two bikes, Trek 930 & Rockhopper on my local CL. It's sunny here & people want to buy.

It took all of 5 hours for my 1992 Hot pink to purple fade HardRock Ultra to sell. I'm not worried. Portland is a hot market & we like vintage & "creative" type bikes.

IF for some reason this doesn't sell and you decide to part it out, I really really need those bars.

Yes, they're like hens teeth. I've emailed Soma twice in the last few months. Apparently they are in the middle of a "production run" with no ETA.

Is this a bike that you used to ride? It looks like a 18"..and I just bought a 18" 850 as well...

I'm 5'9" and I have my seat post as tall as yours. I'm not sure if my 850 is a tad too small for me but I feel comfortable riding it. Long term plan is to convert it to a touring bike but will be using a trekking bar instead of a drop bar.

Good looking bike. You should put a different saddle on the bike and sell the brooks saddle separately.

That's her plan, to hang onto the saddle.

I love when a "for sale" thread finally answers a "which one should I keep" thread.

Yes....for now. Going to put them on my Surly Cross Check, which now sports Nitto Moustache bars. Still fiddling around with bars on this bike (aka bike is little large)
