as an act of frustration after not getting the Kilauea, I bought this bike on Ebay. 
Bike was located near to me so collected it the next day. Well used but with all OE parts still on it.
a bit dirty & shabby. All cable liners are broken and the rear shifter was not downshifting any longer (old sticky grease). Removed every part of it and gave them and the frame a good clean & polish. Fitted new cables and liners, brake pads and BB as well as a new chain. Rear shifter was also fixed and everyting put together.
Thats the result:

I have to out myself as a TREK fan Like that bike in particular. Short test drive yesterday. After setting the correct seat hight everything fits perfectly and the bike feels very good. What else you want ?
Will change the tires, as they are 15 years old. Any recommandation for a classic looking blackwall modern tyre ?
