My old Trek 700-series is older than most of you, Dear Readers. Purchased on the Upper West Side of Manhattan 25+ years ago, this classic-of-classics has stood the test of time.
The drop bars are long gone. The wheels, tires, axles, chain rings, pedals, cranks, etc., etc., have been repaired, removed and replaced. Some parts more than once.
The ride remains sweet; you'd be hard-pressed to find better tubing today than the Reynolds 531 frame and fork used back then.
Enough words about the bike. It's time now to settle my buns in the Brooks B-17 and hit the road.
