1980 Trek 410/412
Got the frame off ebay a couple weeks ago, finally built it up. Shimano 600 arabesque group with Campagnolo/Rigida wheelset. Both the Shimano group and the Campy wheelset had been lying around for a couple of years after I found them at local thrifts, waiting for the right bike. I always thought the Trek 410s were sweet, under-rated, and given a less-than-adequate stock group to keep the price point low. Think this one just may be right, the way the 410s should have been. Saddle is a Wright, plucked off another thrift find. The arabesque is far and away the best looking Shimano group ever, or at least I think so, and I'm happy to have at last stuck it on a bike.

The crankset looks sweet against the dark blue paint!
