Still have a 1993 Trek 5900 OCLV, their flagship model that year. Don't see any reason not to ride it, other than because it's currently disassembled for a cleanup and rebuild. The frame (minus fork) is a bit lighter than my 2010-era Diamondback Podium, although the hybrid steel/carbon fiber fork on the Trek 5900 that year was a bit heavy. If I could find a reasonably priced all-carbon fiber fork with a one-inch steerer I might try it to lighten the bike even more. But a one-inch carbon fiber steerer might be too narrow to be safe, I dunno.
