Again, another early 720 with the dual eyelets on the fork ends.
When I was actively looking for bikes, I'd always see 56/22.5" frames and bigger. Without real scientific data- I'd guess there are much much fewer 19" frames than any other size- and it just so happens this one fits like a glove. There's something *right* about Trek's touring geometry-

So according to the Trek Serial Number site ( Vintage Trek Serial Numbers 1984 ) in 1984 there were only 270 built in size 19. This is out of 3010 built in that year (according to serial number). I would agree that the fit is perfect!

Picked this up last week. Took lots of cleaning and detailing, but was working great.
1998 Trek 2300. The last year for these glued carbon/aluminum models
My 2100 (still have it) was my favorite distance bike 20 years ago, and I hope this will be as good or better!
