My lugged '92 Trek 930 with first design Origin8 Gary Bar and Terry stem. The silver sleeve on the top tube is to protect the top tube from the handlebars.

I just finished this drop bar conversion . . . although maybe not technically a conversion because it didn't have any kind of bar when I got it. But it originally had a flat bar, so here we are. I found the frame in my local community bike shop. It came with the fork, headset, bottom bracket, seat post, seat (which I didn't use) and brake calipers. The paint, bearings, and components were all in great shape, so I think this bike may have lived most of its life in the corner of a garage. Other than that, the goal of the build was, as much as possible, to use parts I had on hand or that I could find used in community bike shops. I powder-coated several of the used components silver so the bike wouldn't look like Johnny Cash's Cadillac. The only things I bought new for it were the ADVENT X brifter set, cable housings, the chain ring, bottle cages, and bar tape.
