Maybe it wasn't stolen to ride. Maybe someone stole it just to throw it away. That godawful sight.

Thanks! In a week or two I'll set up a PedalRoom for it. I'll definitely include some detailed pictures of the lugs (the original reason I fell in love with this bike!).

Get angular contact bearings if you haven't already pressed the new ones in.

71806 is the part number for enduro.

For what it's worth, after talking to someone who has worked on these and doing more research, my BB is action a SRAM Pressfit BB30, so I actually needed a PF30 bottom bracket, and I grabbed one with the angular contact bearings.

So all should be good.


Also, that Trek is sexy!

Nice. I too love the lugs on that generation of Treks.

Paint is in spectacular condition, and the lugs are also in great shape. The listing failed to mention it had a Dura Ace cassette and Campy skewers.

At $575 shipped, for one of my dream frames, and a mix of Shimano 600, Dura Ace, and Campagnolo, I think I did pretty well. Thing handles like it's on rails, too. Weighed in at 22.5 lbs.

At home I have NOS campy record shifters, a record rear derailleur, NOS dura ace levers, an original Flite TI, and some record pedals. I think the only thing I will need to buy is a new seatpost. I think the Thompson I have would feel out of place. And that is my list of possible upgrades, lol.

Looks great.
I am curious about the large chain ring(s) and small cassette.

Thanks man!

And yeah, the gear ratio is insane. The biggest it can do is 53x12, which puts out something like 116 gear inches. I kinda assumed it was used by a racer for a season or two, which would make sense, because this bike was marketed as a slightly better Allez, and the components have barely any wear at all.

A new cassette may be in order, though. Dunno if I could take any serious hill on this thing..

What's wrong with making pizza dough out of, um, pizza dough?

SpeshulEd 03-13-15 08:33 AM

I made pizza with ramen noodles as the base before...tasty!

FakeFuji 03-13-15 09:20 AM

Today I got my first spring commute in, fourth degrees approx 16 miles to work taking the scenic/single track route.

FakeFuji 03-13-15 09:20 AM

Also my pedal room is missing both of my current bikes, I should fix that

+1. Sweet lugs, fastback seatcluster, internal rear derailleur cable!!!

(even though I cursed at the last one when I went to run new cable on my old '88 Trek.)

So good! I have a '92 400 that has the same lugs but not the internal RD routing. Great score.

In other news:
Today I registered for the "Intro to Track Racing" clinic at Kissena.

We normally just get the boboli pizza crust and pizza sauce and make our own pizzas at home rather than buy the crappy frozen stuff, and then we stumbled across this.
Ramen Crust Pizza -- Thrillist Recipes

We used shredded moz cheese instead of the provolone and mixed up the toppings. The noodles harden in the oven and it gives it a fairly solid base, however, you still might need a fork if you don't want messy hands.

I've also made quinoa pizza that I derived from this recipe:
Gluten-Free Quinoa Pizza Bites | POPSUGAR Fitness

Basically, I just make quinoa the normal way, then in a large bowl I mix in whatever pizza toppings I want (minus the sauce, but add egg so it sticks together better) and then spread it in a large cake pan and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350. After baking I just cut it into squares and spread some warm pizza sauce on top.

That Trek is a keeper!

Unkle Rico 03-13-15 11:04 AM

This looks amazing..! Im gonna have to try both of these, thanks for sharing!

I typically see them (often in pairs) riding a paved trail and I kinda giggle to myself as I blow by them on 23mm slicks.

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a SS Pugs or Moonlander but I rarely see them ridden on the terrain they're intended for.

Low miles too from the looks of those minty brake surfaces on those ceramic rims. :)

Hopefully it's a fad that goes away.

I saw a big fat messenger on one the other day. How fitting. "******bike".

this was a male, red anodized rims, traveling along a gravel mup, graceful beast.

if he actually rode this winter he was probably in graceland with all the snow we had but it looked mighty clean, so he probably brought it out after optimal riding conditions

Like a track bike on the road? ;)
