That's not a Y bike.

It's a VRX which came just after it and before the 4 bar bikes - 1999-2001?. Not many liked it - only lasted a year or so.

There is usually one or two on ebay in the US pretty much all the time. They must be more common over there than here in Australia - they were pretty expensive when they were new and trek was only just taking off over here. Lots of cheap copies around though.

If you want to buy one - check out this website as it has a lot of info that'll be useful: www.users.bigpond.com/cool386/trek/trek.htm

wasnt the conclusion that they looked pretty but were bobbins to ride?

The VRXes could never be called pretty!

I've got dodgy knees, so the active-while-seated characteristics of the Y-bike's URT suits me just fine. Shock set-up is important, but when isn't it?
