I've got an 88 trek 830, labeled with tange mtb tubing, with rear u-brakes. Grey and teal paint scheme. No idea if it is a match with an '87 850, but the seat post is 26.4 in cases that is helpful.

As someone who lives in the dirt road mecca of Vermont, most if not all of my bikes, aside from the dedicated mountain bikes, are equipped with dirt roads in mind. The beauty of our surrounding...

1985 Raleigh Touring Bike (Not Raleigh USA)

Another cool Raleigh up here in Vermont. Looks to be pretty tall - maybe 25"? Made in England, Reynolds 531, nice chrome, and center-pulls. Doesn't seem to match any of the 1985 Raleigh USA touring...

Others will be able to provide far more detail, but a quick look at this picture tells me this is a pretty low-end road bike. Centurion made great bikes, but this doesn't appear to be one of them....
