Re: Trek 950

I ended up with a different set of wheels. Mavic X221 rims with Deore LX hubs SS spokes and brass nipples, NOS, and beautiful. Mount a set of NOS Serfas Drifter 1.5" tires.
Getting there. Hollow Tech II BB and Shimano XT crankset next.

Restoration complete. Full XT group, XTR brakes, beautiful cabling and finishing touches by Jarod at Sun Cycles, Tavares Florida.

Did you find a maching fork for your 8900 already? I have a original fork for sale...


That would be a perfect match, wouldn't it? :mrgreen:

And one technical question: Why do you upload such tiny pix. I can't see anything clearly, really.

Re: small pics

I've tried uploading larger images, but from my iPhone I don't seem to be able. I'll upload from my computer and see if I can get larger pics up.
Nice fork, it would be perfect if the stem is long enough.is it available?

Re: Trek 950

I hope these are larger pics.

Re:

Youp. Better.
And yes. The fork is available. The frame it was in has a crack. :facepalm:

(That's for the bin, I guess.)

How long is your steerer tube on the frame? Mine was 9.2cm iirc.

This is how I got the bike. The front end seems to be just like yours:

Re: Trek 950

Thank you. It was a labor of love, I have invested a bit to restore it, but I have what I wanted.
I'm very pleased.

Thats a interesting crack fix. Never seen that before.

It certainly shows that you loved the bike right from the off and i couldn't agree more that if you like a bike enough then regardless of how much it costs to sort out it's always worth it if it's going to make you happy ..
