Trek 720 1982


So... About time I updates my blog, perhaps? I am very lazy. Which is another way of saying, I've been busy noodling around with bikes to care about blogging. However: time for some more photos.
This is a 1982 Trek 720 which I picked up on TradeMe for the princely sum of Not Much. After putting on the now-obligatory moustache handelbars and removing front loriders, rear rack, handlebar bag and panniers it's now a lean/mean/blahblah machine. Very nice indeed. I ride this one to work most of the time and it's done some way gnarly tramping tracks on a South Island tour earlier this year. Phil Wood hubs, probably a Phil bottom bracket (koz it's done about 2 dozen stream crossings and still works) and Suntour gears. Lovely.
