I am 39 today the 19th I have a 1991 Trek 1200 road bike. It is pretty much all original. I really enjoy riding it, got into riding back in March of this year. Rode my first metric on it, saw maybe 3 other vintage bicycles in it. I was stopped at a rest stop and one of the volunteers said he had the same bike at one time that I was riding. Told me how much he loved it and a story about how DT shifters with indexing at one point was banned in professional rides because of the clicking was considered a advantage.

I got my Trek mostly because cost and because it is a 1991 the same year as a 850 I was given last year. I prefer the 1200, but the 850 is fun on MUPs and a few dirt roads around here.

Just thought that it was cool to have to have two bikes of the same year.
