Scored this Trek 750 for $10

Post image
49 Upvotes

Bought this for $10 off a guy who found it tossed on the curb. Can't believe my luck its in my size and my favorite color scheme. It definitely needs work though it has a lot of chips in the paint, cracked rear wheel rim, and a stuck seat post. Is the best way to get the seat post out to dissolve it as some have mentioned? I don't want to damage this frame now that I've finally got it.

I’ve put more miles on it this year than ever. 18 miles a day round trip, it’s been a blast.

it’s a 1989 Raleigh Technium Pre. steel lugs and aluminum tubes. Original components except it has vintage Matrix wheels which were likely from a Trek I’d assume. it had a nice Cinelli bottle cage and Campagnalo Chorus Aero pedals. I sold the pedals to freshen it up. new tires and brake pads. adjustable stem, new bars, brake levers and Ergons. all new cables. my only regret is the 23 width tires but I’m 2010 there wasn’t much available locally like there is now. I’ll probably go as wide as possible when I upgrade next summer. thoughts?

1973? Ted Williams Free Spirit by Puch for Sears. Had a buddy help a lot with the cabling and diff options. It's almost finished. Gonna do some paint, diff stem and maybe a diff wheel set. Rides great. Slightly too big for me, but she floats.

Can anybody point me to some info on this bike? I bought it just like this, and all I know about it is that it has a sick paint job. There’s no serial number on the bottom bracket, I can’t find much about it from my googling.

Shimano HG400 11-40 cassette paired with a M3020-8 derailleur. $61 for the pair on Performance. I wasn’t convinced but Riv sells it so we’ll see

No major changes required in bringing this beauty back to life. I'm happy with the update and I'm keeping it in my arsenal as my town cruiser.

Just wanted to share some Canadian bicycle love.

Just bought this today for $70, i rode it 11 kilometers on the way back home and it shifts well and feels light on the dirt and road. Will be getting a seat tomorrow. I liked the feeling of it as this is my first big bike. Any tips? Was it worth it?

made it from sf to reno on this piece of shit https://www.reddit.com/r/bikepacking/comments/1x6ydpu/san_francisco_to_reno/

it's not particularly upgraded, but it's in pretty good shape: previous owner installed v-brakes, then I put in a shimano altus derailleur and 32t cassette, plus standard maintenance stuff like replacing all the housing/cables and of course adding the bags.

My next plan is to rebuild the wheels with alex adventure 2 rims to go tubeless because I got 5 flats on my 7. I'm expecting the rebuild to be quite a challenge and am open to any advice I can get there.

Just a little pedal paddle with my 94' Specialized. Kokanee salmon are spawning in my area and it's a sight to see.

I know Winning Spirit was the name of a Ross bike, any crossover? Can’t seem to come up with much info. Cool colors though, old school Shimano SIS RD. Asking $30 for it haha I’d love to know what year it’s from.

Fair Price for a serviced Hardrock?

*edit* obviously got my bikes with rock in the name mixed up, it's a rockhopper.

Hey guys, looking for an atb that I can put my toddlers bike seat on. Basically just something I'll ride around the neighborhood on with her, maybe some longer bike path rides. Was thinking of finding something for $100 or 150 and tuning it up myself, there's a guy like a mile away who seems to be doing the same thing tho. This rockhopper came up and looks good, comes with the original rigid for which is a huge plus for me. Does the price seem about right?

Wondering if anyone has come across one of these repco bikes, can't find any info or pics or a year. Decals are stickers Seems super solid has heaps of weight to it, old school shimano sis index shifter for the rear derailer, friction for the front. Keen to do a resto on it either way super cool, in great conditions

Parts bin built Breezer uptown bike share rig.

To make a long story short, my buddy found this bike covered in blood laying on the sidewalk. He stripped it for it's original parts and gave me the frame.

This is from a bike share company that went out of business 6 years ago.

I threw my parts bin at it. A nexus 8 hub with a grip shift is fun af and this thing makes a perfect cargo hauler.

I need to find a long milk crate for the rear rack.

Looking for inspiration on my new to me frame i got in a trade. I think I lost on the deal specially since I left components on their. But I can't let greed stop me from appreciating this sweet frame. Plus it was a good fit for both parties.
