Thanks, MountainDave!
I’m pretty pleased with how wonderful the blue powdercoat came out.
And yes, Mark does great work. The “Gugificazione” decal arrived last week…

I then sent it to Forum member, Mark Guglielmana of Portland, Oregon. Mark added René Herse direct mounts for Mafac centerpull brakes, plus mounts for my Velo-Orange fenders and Nitto Randonneur rack.
I used Illusion Blue powder from Prismatic Powders to approximate a Toyota color, RAV4 Electric Storm Blue.
I also ordered a complete Trek “Build A Set” of Trek 660 decals, including gold foil headtube badge and Reynolds 531 decal, from Velocals shortly before they closed their doors on 12/31/22. They will be missed! 😭
I’ve had encouragement from Forum member Drillium Dude to address and speed up my backlog of projects, so this will be my 1st build of 2023.

I've got a VO decaleur that didn't work out on another project that I'll use on this bike, so the lack of the tombstone isn't that big of a deal- however I want to be able to move the rando bag to my tandem too, but that frame is smaller with a taller stem, so I'll need to make/have made some kind of a stem-mounted decaleur that will accept the bag-mounted part of the VO.

Are you happy with the powder coat? And can I ask how much it ran you? I've got one or two framesets in desperate need, and Seattle prices are prohibitive.

Cleaned off my 1992 Trek 950 and installed a set of Continental Winter Contact 26 x 1.9 tires. Much of the snow has melted off but the trails will have ice and snow and these are fine winter tires. Plus I picked up a 1993 Trek 750 I need to fix up; I've always wanted one of these hybrids to fix up. It came to me with a funky set up: drops and thumb shifters. I'll probably go with flat bars.

1980 Trek 510 / Ishiwata 022.
My errand bike since Sept 2014 and in dire need of TLC, but it never seems to have any down time. It was an evilbay find, and the only original parts are the frame, the brake calipers (SunTour Superbe), and the seat post.(SR Laprade). All else was salvaged from my previous townie (old road bike that rusted out at the bottle bosses).

Another Trek 720. 1984 Built on my birthday when I would have been 11 y/o. Took another 37 years to get to me as a F&F and now built up with many goodies and already has ~1400 miles since later last year. Best fit I've had on an off the shelf bike in a long time (since my Serotta)
