My Trek 6500 ZX

1999? 2000? I dont exactly know

Got it as a frame only at a Gates ride a couple of years ago and it had been sat around for ages

This year as lockdowns eased, I looked for something different in the parts bin and created the bicycle equivalent of a Ford Mondeo LX, middle of the road, capable if a bit uninteresting

It does everything its supposed to do, some bargain ebay finds added better forks and quietly upgraded the drivetrain

Here it is, dont fall asleep...

Is that a Reynolds 753 frame?

 

[legrandefromage]

Yes and yes although I may cut the tubes and glue in some carbons

Good idea, then you'll have a Yeti C-26!

' l like my Trek,

It makes me smile

As I trundle along

For that extra mile

The only thing is

It's in a bit of a tizz

Because the bottom bracket is buggered as the threads are knackered....'
