    Talking Great bike!

    My mixte has found a TE sister!!

    She's beautiful and almost identical, even the color. You could always do this and turn her into a sweet freewheel mixte.

    Sweeeeet Trek!!! That's the same bike! Mine is like a "before" picture and yours is "after"!

    I may have some questions for ya when I figure out what's what with the bike. Thanks for the link to your pics. I love the color of this bike.

    According to my LBS it was not easy fitting new, standard parts to French threaded bike. Somehow he did it. I hear there was a lot of swearing involved.

    Our frames look much alike, components on yours even with the rust are in better shape. You are in for a treat when she's finished.

    One of my favorite things about this bike. Doesn't anyone use real headbadges anymore?

    I love the badge! I was wondering about being able to find parts for it should something need to be replaced. DH was saying something about that if the rear hub ever went bad that it would have to be changed into a fixed gear anyway. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about but stranger things have happened!

    He does I'd keep him if I were you. That's a flip-flop hub on mine.

    The rear hub on this uses 120 mm spacing. Current road bikes use 130 mm spacing, so a modern freehub won't fit unless you want to have the frame spread. A fixie/flip-flop hub can be adjusted with spacers to fit a variety of frame widths.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Awesome! Very nice bike you got there... Before you do anything, though, level that saddle! I got pain just from looking at it tilted up like that!
