I just picked up a 1984 Trek 890, Reynolds frame, at my local thrift store for a smoking price. When I first stumbled upon the bike I could only see the top half, noticed the lugged frame, Trek decals and got excited. When I looked at it from the other side I was baffled by the sight of road frame with 26" rims and Panracer RADIAL tires; strange sight indeed. I have never seen a bike in person with such a long wheel base, looks funky. From what a read from the Trek catalog is that this bike was specifically designed for city commuting, first gen hybrid?. The bike is 100% original down to the tires and saddle. I have yet to ride it, needs a little work first, looking forward to how this beast rides. Looks like I have a nice little project for the winter. Any more information on this strange steed?
