Trek 520 FS
SOLD SOLD SOLD...
So i'm still trying to make some room, so next up on the chopping block... a Circa 1995 Trek Touring 520, as far as i can tell from pictures its as it was sold from new except tires and tubes,
i have ridden it a few hundred miles mostly 30 milers, its got True Temper tubing, i got it from a former Trek Regional rep, i don't think he rode it very much. I put new brake lever hoods on it.
it comes with generic platform pedals.
This model is still made today, i'm sure with some modern updated ekipment.. they are great bikes.. check out the Vintage Trek website for the skinny.
The seat tube has an alloy collar around it so i measured the seat tube as best as i could and show it in the pics, i believe it to be a 58cm.
I'm looking for $550 plus shipping at your cost.

These are very capable fully-loaded touring machines. Mine (similar vintage) actually rode better loaded than unloaded. If you have a hankering to give serious touring a try, this is about as good a deal as you are ever going to find.
