Show your Trek Multitrack!

Anyone ever try to do a lightweight Multitrack build? Still with gears, just with lightweight parts.
Under 22 lbs. would be sweet - feasible? Someone above posted their 1x drop bar conversion weighing 23.5 lbs, but it had fat tires and 1,800g wheels. Seems like sub 22 would be possible without going too crazy.

Amazing race this past Sunday, Paris to Ancaster 70km classic. Mix of road/gravel/rail trail/doubletrack/mudslides. Close to 2700 participants with many sections through beautiful private farmlands. Bike and body performed exceptionally well. Gunning for top 100 next year!

My 790 on another bikepacking trip. Mix of pavement, gravel and singletrack out of Blue Ridge GA up to the Appalachian trail and back. These frames ride great at any weight but it's fun to load them up and be reminded of how well they handle it (52 lbs starting weight on this trip).

This is my fourth US-made Trek 750. I regret selling the first so picked this one up a couple years ago and it's just been sitting in the basement waiting to be brought back to life. (#2 and # 3 went to each of my daughters but pics of all, including the one I sold, are in the Flickr album linked below.
This one is "Ice Black with White Lettering" so I decided to go with a black & white theme. I wanted to see how it felt with a Jones Bar, and so far I'm digging it, including the RandiJo Fabrications Jeff & Joan bag specially designed to nestle within the Jones loop. I also decided this bike would be all friction, so mounted some sweet Sun tour ratchet shifters I've been sitting on for years shifting an Ultegra RD and STX FD. White WTB Rocket saddle, Tail feather bag support for the Carradice Camper Longflap. Silver VP Vice pedals, White ESI silicone grips...

It’s crazy to see how much this thread has grown since I started it so long ago!
I have been pretty inactive, both on this forum and in general, for a while but…. I bought another Multritrack this morning! I think this is my fifth one and will post pics as soon as I get everything switched over from my 17” 720 to the “new” 19” 730. Im excited to see how she handles and expect the larger frame to fit me a bit better, as I was in the higher range of fitment with the 17”.

Was able to take the new 730 out for a short shakedown ride this evening! I still have a few parts I’m waiting on, but it’s 90% complete. I also have to attach my lock/lock bracket and my lights too. I have a couple racks that I might add at some point, but I’m not sure exactly what I want to do yet as far as that goes. 🤷♂️

Very nice! How do you like the American Classic tires? I've looked at them several times on Amazon, but I haven't pulled the trigger...yet. What size are those on your 730?

The American Classic Kimberlites are nice looking and have great feel on pavement and gravel/dirt roads so far, but I probably only have 60miles or so on this pair. I’m running 700x50c, with tubes, on a 19mm rim, and they measure out to about 48mm.
