Ahh, that old green Trek up there was one of those. I inherited the frame and fork and did the cross/dirt treatment on it.

These tend to have slower steering head angles and geometry over all and make a great bike for riding with out emulating racing etc. IMO of course. I built and raced all manor for about a decade. So all are invited to learn by my mistakes. ;) Just ask, I'd be happy to help with the geometry and use issue etc., this goes for all of course.

Here is my old bike html page from a hundred years ago if anyone is interested in looking. Some interesting machines to say the least...

Link Here, have a look
