Dear Cyclofiend,

Here re some pics of my rebuilt and "enlightened" mid-eighties Trek 1000. I was given this bike by my best friend who received a new Fuji roadie as a gift and no longer needed this one. It is a really fun bike to ride, very smooth, comfortable and quick once I get going. The front chainring is a 52 biopace, rear is 18. The bike cruises but I have to avoid long or steep hills. I'll probably change the front chainring to a 48 tooth soon, and I would also like to paint the frame sunflour yellow, if I can find someone who'll do it affordably. I converted the original threaded fork and stem to a threadless system. All together it cost about 150 bucks to convert this into what it is now. It weighs about 19lbs or so.

So:
Aluminum Trek 1000 Frame-54cm
Xero XR-4 wheelset
Nashbar Aluminum TT Handlebar
Nashbar 1" 80mm Stem
Nashbar Carbon Fiber 1" Aero Front Fork
Cane Creek TT Brake levers
Forte Single speed conversion kit
Suspension seatpost from an old bike
Cane Creek 1" Aluminum headset
Continental 25C Tires
Shimano Ultegra Clipless pedals
Original equipment single pivot brakes

I really enjoy communting on this thing! Hope someone else can appreciate it as well!
