1989 lugged Trek 420
A dream realized; I have long wanted an old steel framed Trek. This weekend the longing ends... After much internal debate about the Rivendell that i found locally for sale, the debate ends with a frame every bit as good as the Riv, maybe even better... At a tenth of the cost this Trek is probably better suited to me... The Riv was slightly too big, cost way too much and the guy selling it was a bit on the manipulative side. i still could not get the bike out of my mind and checked CL daily to see if it had sold... Good things do come to those who wait... This Trek will replace my garage sale Univega. I liked the Vega but the steel it was made from had very little ride character... The first two feet of the Trek test ride was far more lively than the vega and it brought joy to my heart... i bought it and immediately on my arrival home began to harvest the components ive been lovingly bestowing on this Univega for that past year and a half... These components i love and respect so much have found a permanent home...
