AH that's a lovely build, the carradice + front rack combi is a real winner
Cheers for the info and nice words! My half-arsed googling suggested it was a singletrack from that era but it's good to have a specific year for it. Advice from various people is not to worry too much about the bendy fork, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a suitable replacement for peace of mind. The 'burner Trek' (name coined this weekend) is also in need of new chain, cassette and chainrings, so it's proving to be a bit more work than the tyres, tubes and cables job I was hoping for...

Nice, it looks like you got your hands on one of the older 950/970/990s from 1990 which are very nice lugged frames. I do agree the forks look a little odd compared to mine from a year later - photo for reference. Great work on the MF too, and those multitrack frames are a bit of a hidden gem for a cheap gravel build. 700c, wide clearance and canti bosses - spot on!
