Meet the cousins
She's the younger of the two, a 2000 Trek 6000 WSD. Purchased as a bare frame, she now sports Deore XT m750 brakes,& derailleurs Base level 9sp Deore brifters. the wheelset is a pair of Matrix Swami wheels with STX MC38a rear hub and an STX HB MC33 ft hub sourced from a totaled zx7000,.a RockShox Judy XC, The seat is an LBS jobbie that doesn't feel like a pinecone.
Nothing is original to what Trek built.
He's a Mt Tam in original right down to the reflecters and black spoke protector condition (except the few things I removed and retained, neck and seatpost) Seat is changed because time takes it's toll.

Can’t imagine it would be. That’s a beauty.

Bikes: depends what week it is..
Here's a Nishiki International that is very small - note the top tube and downtube meld into eachother. It came with 700c wheels and crmo frame and I converted this bike back to der gears and it fixed up nicely.

Bikes: A bunch of old bikes.
I built this little one up recently. It's a 94 KHS that I picked up the frame set from the C&V classifieds.
They called it a small I think, it's 51 C to T, but 47 C to C. It's designed for 700c, but I used 650c wheels and Tektro long reach calipers. This is an experiment for now, this bike is intended for a grandkid who won't be able to ride it for another year or so.
My wife will test it out in the spring and we'll have a better idea then how it works. She has a few other small bikes that were posted earlier in this thread.
