This
is my latest project just completed. I have Bryan at Renaissance
Bicycle to thank for getting me started on the "modernization" of
older classic frames. Please visit his site it's wonderful.
Anyway...here
is my 1984 Trek 770 series bike. I hope you enjoy. The bike came
to me as a used but not abused frame. I was anxious to modernize
this piece and provide some pride for an "American built" bike.
Whatever Trek has become in recent years, they built one heck of
a frame years ago. The frame is constructed from 531P Reynolds tubing
and weighed in at just under 4 lbs. I coldset the rear dropouts
to 130mm and trued the headtube and bottom bracket prior to building
it out. Here is a list of the components. And yes....it rides really,
really sweet.
