so i was working on this bike as an introductory touringish bike for my girlfriend... then the complete Clem prototypes went on sale and now she has a little green protovelo, and is in love. (photos of that coming soon) anyway, im looking to sell the 1990 trek 520 i was working on. USA made, lugged, pearl white, true temper cr-mo frame/fork/stays. braze ons everywhere. it has:
albatross bars vintage deore thumb shifters vintage big dia compe levers cork grips and shellacked bar tape deore dx derailleurs nos sugino lt triple crank new pasela tour guard tires new bottom bracket new chain new cables and housing new leather (gyes) saddle kickstand the weird thing is the wheels, which are 27 inch. not stock. i guess at some point somebody swapped them out for the original 700c. i didnt notice until i tried to put tires on (bought it as a frame/fork/wheels/derailleurs). anyway, the brakes work fine with 27in or 700c. clearances for 40mm tires or slightly bigger if 700c. rear spacing is 132 for road or mtb hubs. it has been cleaned, frame savered, lubed, greased etc. no dings or dents, but a moderate amount of beausage to the paint. ready to ride, but i put this together myself, so fine tuning by a more skilled hand would be beneficial. currently set up for the smallest person possible with a short stem and slammed seatpost. even then it was always gonna be slightly too big for my 5'3 girlfriend (76 pbh). i think this is more ideal for the 78-84 pbh range. here is the trek info 1990 trek catalogue <http://www.vintage-trek.com/TrekBrochure1990.htm#520> im about 500$ into it and i'd like to get that out of it. gonna go to ebay and craigslist, but i thought i'd see if anyone here was interested first. i have more pictures, if interested. located in Los angeles, but would be willing to have it shipped. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
