Trek 730
I rescued a trek 730 Multitrack from a recycling center. I will be converting it into a railtrail/tour bike. I will ditch the twist-grip shifters and upgrade the risers to flat bars. By the cOlor scheme (ice cream with blue decals) it looks to be a ‘97.

Sweet!
The hybrids caught flak for being not mountain bike-y enough or not road-y enough- but they serve the "allrounder" purpose.
You've got a good plan, looking forward to pix!!!

Tour planned for September
I’m looking to ride the Cumberland Gap and C&O in September and hoping that this set up will work. I rode the OTE last summer on a POS hybrid and have resigned to do better this time.
