Is it these? They would probably look good on my new-to-me Hardrock that's coming. https://easternbikes.com/collections...-yellow-2-pack

Ace! I had one of those Serfas Kevlar seats back in 1993 or so... it was really "grippy", didn't allow me to slide around much. Plus it was like sitting on a 2x4. But they look sweet. I love Fats and have a '91 Wicked I'm in the process of manufacturing a Tange Switchblade lookalike fork for...

94' Bridgestone MB-3 - Kiwi Green
As bought - previous owner converted to a single speed
top tube scratched up on this side, fork on the other - doesn't hurt my feelings

The last year for Reynolds tubing on the ATBs was 1984. So that's probably an '84 with an '85 paint/decal makeover (which is not unheard-of with Treks of that time). Might possibly be an 890. But those components don't match any ATB models from '83-'85. So although they may be cool components, they're not original.
The 970 was the top of Trek's 1993 line (not including the beer cans).

Here's my first proper vintage mtb build. Went with 1X 40-11/46 (Sram NX & GRX crank). Special thanks to jdawginsc for going above and beyond to get it to me!

I think a Big One Inch (BOI) would be more appropriate on a Team, but a Switchblade would look great too. Just be sure the axle to crown (A-C) measurement is correct for the the frame geometry.

1990 Trek 970 Black with White Splatter
I just bought this one today. 20” lugged frame and looks to be original except for consumables.

Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.
