That's a beauty!
Lovely build!

Awesome. I have a weak spot for bonded frames and this is a very nice example. I am working on a 1992 bonded frame atm (Miyata).

Re:

I will receive parts for mine like grafton brakes caliper and a rear wheel with Bullseye and Matrix Titan rim…
But still need to remove the old gel coat and to restore the old RS1
So, for old bounded carbon frame, I'm near to ride with a 1992 Cadex CFM3 :mrgreen:

Like it!

(check the front rim for little cracks around the spoke holes )

Superb build. I ALWAYS lusted after one of these, when they were advertised in the front/back cover of MBUK. I did have a heave steel framed Raleigh back then. I wanted one sooo much, I'm actually about to buy a new Trek this month. Only took me 30 years....

That's what most us are doing....re-living the dreams we had as spotty teenagers, only this time round with a bit more brass in our pockets

Re:

Thanks guys. I took the Trek out for a spin again the other day.. I forgot how agile this bike is.. I need to ride it more often! Feels really good on or off road. Here's some more pics, no changes to the build. I need to swap out the brakes and bling it up with some higher end skewers and stuff I think.. this frame deserves it
