Popped to a nearby recycling centre the other day as my wife wanted to have a nose, and I saw this little beauty. First I saw it was a Trek but hadn't clocked the number, then saw the Shimano LX components and thought interesting, and then saw the actual number and thought I'll have that. £10.00 later (borrowed off the wife) I was the proud owner, and it fitted just about in to the back of my wife's car (she was a little bemused). Also after wheeling it back to the car I bumped in to another retrobike biker - Jimbo-XC who luckily had turned up on a motorbike so it would have been interesting if he had pipped me to it for him then to get it home 
.
I've stripped it down and the usual suspects were removed pretty easily - the seat post had to be removed via clamping it in a vice, but part I had the most trouble with was the front wheel. First the quick release lever sheered off, and then the nut on the other side. I managed ot removed the wheel in the end but it was a little fiddly.
I haven't decided what I will do with it. but apart from rust the components have had very little use.
