Bloody... 1700 g for frame and forks.

Seems that yours according to the last link is from the 3rd generation.
But I'm sure @Gaston is way more aware about it.

Or maybe 4th generation

@M.Pista I'm 100% that mine is a 4th generation, same fork (and straight) and same seat post system, I'll do detailed pics of my bike asap for u to be sure :)

Not strictly a modern groupset but have updated my 1991 Trek with a 1x9 7700 groupset for commuting duties. All the other components apart from the headset are also updated. Really hard to capture the splatter paint as it's literally fluorescent (saves me wearing hi-viz!) Some nice design touches on the frame..

That frame looks fantastic.

You're a bit late, posted that back on page 16! Looks great, something about white bikes with black parts 👌

I didn't realise people cared; I'll revert to the old stem.

I've noticed you don't have any device to keep your chain in place on the chainring. Are you not afraid of chain coming off?

I have an issue with this thread: very nice bikes, a lot of slammed stems, but also. tellingly, a lot of saddles shunted awkwardly forward on their seatposts to accommodate the preferred 'slam'. Jambon, do you not think this could be policed?

I initially considered a narrow-wide chainring / Paul chain keeper but to be honest its never been an issue. The only time it dropped was when I shifted across the whole cassette using the friction shiftier in one go. But otherwise no issues. I think cross /off road is a different matter..

That paint!

Forgot to post this Trek 470 / 105 build I did for a friend.

Gave you a hand:

Well, looks like you actually took one. You didn't fix rear valve?

Ta tho!
