              Hi again,  This 
              is a TREK 8500 super light mountain bike ready to make the transformation. 
              "any one know the year of this model" a friend of a friend 
              was going throw it out, and I thought I would take it clean it up 
              to see what was under all the dirt and grime, well surprise... As 
              you can see it's ready to have a few components added, I am looking 
              at Truvativ GXP one speed crank set, up front and with a standard 
              converter / spacer set up for the rear, I really like these because 
              you can change the cog real quick. I 
              have also changed the top end to have the Thompson 100 mm stem with, 
              you guessed it ProTaper bars, I really like the position and feel 
              of these bars, any one else out there like them? Maybe it that motocross 
              dirt bike feel, I don't know its very nice on long rides.  I 
              will send more when complete.  Jerry Grg1255@gmail.com
