I ride to work some days. Its about a 15km trip.

Today it was on this Trek 800 Singletrack which I saved from the tip about a week ago. I THINK its about '96 or '97 and I am aware it is nothing special.

Threw on a cheap set of 1x cranks as the front mech was fd.
Some 720mm bars, grips, tubes and a basket.

Amazing what a clean and about $45 on Amazon can do.

It rides terribly. I don't know why I didn't adjust the derailleur last night rather than battling the barrel adjuster while on my way to work.

Yikes, Amazon... But a nice work horse though.
