1995 TREK 8700 SHX

[Mountaintrail]

Beautiful bike man, love me a Trek, I still have a few nice ones. In fact the nicest Mountain bikes I have ever owned have been Treks,... and I've had a bunch of them.

My 8700 that i built in '12. Sort of vintage with modern drive train/bits. swapped the seat for a adamo. the best seat ever!

Looks ace!

very nice

Looks in good condition and the components you have added have made a positive difference

Curious to know what size/dimensions the frame is as i have a 2001 Trek, 17.5 which has a sloping top tube, low and long, and is a very smooth ride also

Re:

Bloody lovely!


Been looking for something like that myself. Found an 8900, but too small, alas

Did they have issues with bonding at all?

nice one - old Treks are totally underrated.

I'll second that! My first mtb was a Trek Singletrack, with Indy C forks. Great bike to ride.

Goddam! I'm going to look for one now!

Re:

Looks ace, really like the bare carbon/aluminium lug look. Didn't realise they came like that, thought the alloy bits were always painted. Have to agree with the positive Trek comments, I've had a fair few, and they've all been fantastic. Have two skinny tyred Treks at the moment, and both are brilliant.

Regards

Re:

Great bike and inspiration to get on with mine
Mine is the model below with painted joints but the paint is terrible and plenty of corrosion so I'm going to strip and polish it .
Be interested to know how they ride ?
