  1. This is the 86 Trek 500 I bought a few months ago.
    It came with Shimano 600 components.
    Since I have always been an avid MTB'r and wanted to get into road cycling, I bought this bike for $200, from a guy on Craigslist who races bikes and rebuilds them for a hobby.

    Since being a MTB'r, I enjoyed the index shifting over friction shifting, I decided to do an updated conversion using new parts.
    This is my first bike build, so give me some slack. I do however take constructive criticism.
    Bike rides like a dream.
    I am still looking for a yellow saddle.

    SRAM 9 speed cassette
    Truvativ compact crank 50/36 with GXP BB
    SRAM 9 speed chain
    Shimano 105 front and rear derailleur
    ITM 1-1/8" stem
    Colnago 42 bars oversized 31.8
    Forte brifters
    Fizik micro bar tape
    Jagwire cables
    Maddux F40 aero wheelset
    Forte pro+ tires ( have the Conti 4000s twin pack on order from PBK)

    Heres some pics. Hope it works, they were too big to upload.
