So I've just bought this endearingly lurid Trek 2500 alpha f+f for a tenner with the idea of making a rancid beater from the spares box.
I'm a bit baffled by the downtube - no braze-ons, just two holes, not even threaded. Anyone know what the deal is with this? Can I fit cable adjusters? From the marks on the frame it looks like someone's run cable adjusters or down tube shifters on it before.
Wanted some gears for the Swansea hills but may have to run fixed if there's not an easy fix...
Any ideas?
