Honestly this is one of the best riding bikes I have ever owned. I have two long wheelbase bikes (42 inch with 18 inch stays), this 'dale and an '82 Trek 720. The Cannondale, IMO, is a better riding...

I just picked up this 1982 Trek 720. This is my 2d Trek 720 since I also own a 1983 Trek 720. The bike I picked up has a mix of components. I need to get this bike mechanically sound to get it ready...

I like it a lot. I wish American bikes were as practical with kickstand plates, generators, etc. This is a lovely bike but I think I'd want a triple to do some serious hill climbing.

There's a lot to be said for getting the bars higher on a touring bike. Those are good looking bikes.

Great job. I have a Trek 720 that is badly in need of a new paint job if you are looking for work restoring 720s!

You know, I had forgotten about command shifters. I've heard great things about them; I may try them out. I'm a big fan of superb pro stuff as well; the RD looks really smart on your Trek 400.

It takes long reach sidepull brakes and can handle a 700 x 32c with fenders. It has three water bottle braze ons so it was made to be a long-distance bike. The bike does like minty, :). It is all...
