Let's talk before eBay kind of bump

Few more shots:

Hello all, Bit of an odd one this. I snagged a nearly new Trek 7900 lugged carbon Hybid frame years and years ago. It has been sitting on the shelf patiently waiting. The 7900 was Trek's top of the line Hybrid in 1995. I have always loved the lugged carbon Trek (more than the OCLV stuff...

Cool! Just use the quadras for now until something else comes along. 1 1/4" is not as common as 1 1/8", but the stuff is out there. This gives you time too to decide if you want to stick with threaded, or convert to Ahead. Personally I'd be in favour of keeping it as per the catalogue...

Oooh, horrific...

All Boxxer front hubs now sold. Remaining: -DH and slime tubes -Lawwill chain guide -Lawwill rear hub -Pair of Lawwill wheels.

I assume we're talking about the Pro FRO, so really we should be talking on that thread, but regardless, you can see under the clearcoat that the cable guides etc are brazed on, where the main tube junctions are welded. You can see the brass of the braze. If you take a look at any of the...

Updating a couple of threads in the readers bikes section has made me have a little bit of a look and a re-think as to my machine priorities. All my machines are riders, and having a couple of machines I basically no longer use makes no sense, so with much deliberation, I have decided to put...

Yup, indeed, 32h. Thanks for the info Drmiles, I have never personally seen the 36 version!

Lawwill shock sold. Down to last front hub.
