It's 7/20! Show Your Trek 720!!!
There's always a new influx of new people and regulars that have acquired bikes- and people like me that are just ridiculously in love with their bikes!
Show your Trek 720!
Here's my 1985 Trek 720.

Spooky straddle cable yoke
Suntour XC Pro brakes
Phil "Rivvy" front hub
Phil Cassette rear hub
Ultegra 10s cassette
Velocity Atlas rims
Compass Bon Jon Pass (35) tires
SKS Chromoplastic fenders

This one just came back to me. Shamefully, I have never ridden it any distance.

Overloaded for 2day shake down to Long Beach from where bike was stolen so I never got chance to resolve annoying wobbles
As recovered some 15 months later thanks to bikeindex.com listing.
More or less current state after parts bin rebuild as general duty backup.

...pretty much original. If I rode it more often, I'd swap out the Helicomatic hubs and the rear derailleur.

Did you ever get to kick that guy ankle deep in the nutz?
I'm so sorry for you, but I'm so glad you got the frame back.

That 720 is at my in-laws, but the bags are currently gracing it’s little cousin, the 620. They exactly fit one 12 pack of Elysian assorted 🍻
