1984 Trek 610

Just picked this up yesterday. Had a 560 years ago that was a size too small, so had to grab this up when I saw it on Facebook.

It sure does! Fun ride, just much different than the rest having a fairly long wheel base.

My TX700 should have the same geometry as your bike- it would be pretty much 'in between' the 47 and 42.5 cm chainstay bikes in my stable- but the TX700 is in the project queue- with a sizable load of stuff in front of it right now.

oh man!! That’s beautiful! Mine was stolen last year but the paint was in similar minty condition, it’s an awesome all rounder. Those frames have a 10 7 10mm down tube and are a really nice balance of ride quality and BB rigidity. I’m keeping an eye out for another one with good paint. They clear 700x32 and do a pretty fair impression of a gravel grinder

Was this local? And not on CL, evidently. Dang, if only typing "face" followed by "book" without a space in between didn't make be break out in hives, that beauty might well have ended up on my stand..... Awesome score.

So what's up with the weird bokeh on the last pic, around the brake cable?

I've noticed that phone camera live image processing for the live focus effect can do that.

You really did a nice job on it! BTW I've got another one of these in the works, but this one is my size! I'll likely do the same fantastic color.

Thanks! You did a great job on the frameset! I had a great foundation to start with.

That bike is amazing - and cool comparison with a modern Trek! I still can’t get over that powder coat - stunning!

Thanks! Yep. This was local. I believe it might have been on CL as well. I like to use FB marketplace whenever I can since the seller response time seems way quicker.

Not sure about the last pic, think it's just a weird reflection.

This is my recently acquired 1990 Trek Multitrack 750. Only problem is it's too minty and I don't want to ride it.

Looks nice!

The Multitracks are an under-appreciated bike that can be updated for various styles or left as-is - lots of room for big tires - eyelets for fenders, racks, etc., good brakes with a post spacing that allows for updating if desired - and a good,steel frame. I have a Tru Temper framed Trek and it is a nice ride.

Enjoy.

They're also surprisingly light.
I have a '91 750 True Temper bare frame (58cm C2C seat & top tube) that weighs 5.18 lbs.
That's the same as a similarly-sized Tenax-tubed '88 Schwinn Super Sport.

Kickstand !
Yeah, "minty" is an understatement. I have a lugged 730 and a tigged 750 from around that era. Both in great running shape but neither as fresh as yours. Both are awesome to ride. It's fun, when a younger person comments on one, I tell them it was built just down the interstate, their uncle might've worked on it.

These and the Mississippi Schwinns -- hang on to every one you've got, they're a looking-glass into American industrial history.
