Hey now

I could see it was a Trek but it had a fade paint job I had never seen on a Trek, not that I am expert, and the top tube said Cirrus which was not a model I was familiar with hmmm, and its my size and then I see


and the sticker says



Oh yeah! come to Papa!!

So here we are and after some brake adjustment some air in the tires a little saddle and stem adjust. And the addition of some no name pedals and a bottle cage - I figure 3 bucks for the lot out of my parts bin, I am $78 in and have done a 1 km shake down cruise. Aside from the replacement rear wheel and FW it all appears to be an otherwise Original 1987 Trek Cirrus 520.
