1990 Trek 820

i am the original owner. I got this with my tax refund in 1990. I was living in Chicago and rode around a bit but nothing serious. I moved back to Michigan in 1992. I started riding every day before work.
In 1994, I rode up the west coast of Michigan, (450 miles in 7 days) and realized I should get a road bike to tackle all those hills. I got a 1995 Trek 1220. I let my step son abuse the 820.
I didn’t ride for too many years while raising my boys. I finally started riding again in 2014. I started with the 820 because I was 100 pounds heavier and didn’t think my road bike could handle it. I lost weight and started riding the 1220 again.
I broke my collarbone inAugust 2018, I went back to the 820 because it put less weight on my shoulder. Ten months later and I am still riding this because it is so comfortable. I would like to get a front rack and some more upright bars. And a Brooks C19 saddle.
