Bikes: Jamis Dragon, Trek 930, Trek 1.2

New old guy in Kentucky

Came across the forum while looking for info on my old bikes

Started out with a Trek 930 in high school then built a Jamis Dragon with RaceFace/XT parts in college. The 930 has mainly been a commuter since building the dragon. I left it at my parents house when I moved out west and only rode it when I visited. Since moving back I've been riding it around town a lot more and decided it needed some love. What started out as a tune up turned into a full tear down and rebuild of both bikes

The Trek 1.2 I bought to do the Seattle to Portland ride with some friends. Did that twice when I lived out that way. After I'm done fixing up my MTBs I'll be cleaning it up and selling it

Hopefully I can contribute what I remember about the now 'vintage' stuff that was the latest and greatest back when I worked at the shop

Thanks for having me

Hey, glad that you are here! There are a couple forums that are devoted to your interests that should be helpful to you. There are also forums that might not be your thing, but I encourage you to check out as much as you can; I never know when/where I might learn something so I keep my options open.

Thanks for the welcomes. I do have a lot of catching up to do so I'm sure I'll be reading all I can. Lots has changed since the 90's

Trek has always been my go to for bikes, they just fit me best. The shop I worked at sold Trek and Bianchi

Most of us that worked there raced on Jamis frames. I was the only one with a Dragon, the other guys prefered the aluminum Dakota
