As I’ve dragged The Trek out I thought I’d give it another once round the block. I’ve had it 27 year now!
This time it’s going all SS Big City (once I’ve picked up the Halo twinrails 26x2.1 from @jdp cheers Jules)
The recipe;
1996 bonded Trek 8000 frame
Kenesis MaxLight fork
SWorks stem, 750mmish flat bars, ODI Sensus grips, fly levers (once I’ve found them), spesh rival seat, Tektro RX5 brakes, Swami rims, parallax hubs, white industries cranks, 34t ring, 12t halo cog, Gusset tensioner, VP pedals and a BURLY as fuck KMC SP K-YD chain (I wish I hadn’t Googled how much they cost now!), but it’s been on the bike for 20 years so.
Anyway it rides pretty ok, on my breakless spin down the road.
