Can anyone tell me the year of this bike also an approximate price as it has been donated to a cycling charity that I volunteer at.
the trek looks like new I don't think it has ever been on the ridden.

moneys on it being a 91 model as its wearing DX - 92 onwards came with XT and a suspension fork but rigid was still an option

Re:

I had the giant equivalent of that year. Got stolen after only a few rides and was a lovely bike. Saved up and paid the lbs each week until it was mine. Iirc I got it half price as it was last years model, I'd imagine the trek would have been around the sane price new, which was around the £500 mark if memory serves. As for value now, no idea I'm afraid, but sadly a lot less I'd imagine.

Re:

Apart from the tyres, that’s a catalogue spec 1990 model in great condition. Got to be worth £200, perhaps a bit more to the right buyer.

I hope this doesn’t get flipped for the parts - it’s such a survivor
