Over the past few days, I've been rebuilding bikes that have been cluttering my back porch. Need the shade back before hell summer hits.

This one is a 1991ish Trek 750 hybrid. Looked like heck when I got it, but it cleaned up nicely. Full Suntour XCE, except it came to me with a set of thoroughly trashed Grip-Shifts. The cleanup & rebuild went fine until selecting replacement shifters - the Accushift cassette would not play well with the Rapidfire or GripShifts I tried on it, and I had to break into my Emergency Strategic Component Reserve and commit a set of XC Pro thumbies to it in order to get decent shifting.



After all that, I've decided to keep it as a spare bike, with the prior Spare Bike donated to Recycle Your Bicycle to make a foster kid happy.
