Texas/Eastern Mass Rider
Hi,
I spend half of my year in Texas and the other half traveling or in Eastern Mass. I needed a bike for a summer and just as I was getting on the ferry to Mass far East, I glanced at craigslist. A guy 5 blocks from the ferry was selling a Trek 610. I went to check it out and found it in factory perfect condition. There wasn't even a scratch on the rims. It sat in someones basement/garage for 30yrs. Also, it is a 25.5" frame, and I am 6'5" so it was a perfect match. I have enjoyed riding it; even though, I just use it for transportation. No it is showing signs of rust so I thought I might fix her up. paint, chrome new spokes, rims etc.
I look forward to being apart of the group and hope to see you out riding

Hey TexAmi,
Welcome to Bike Forums.
So neat that you found a bike your size right under your nose.
Thanks for the pic.
