I picked this up about 18 months ago & finally collected enough (mostly) period correct parts to get it back on the road!!
It's a 57cm 1982 Trek model 412, built with Ishiwata 022 chrome-moly steel tubing.
I got it for $60 on Craigslist!!
It was a complete bike when I got it, but had some original parts & some oddball stuff on it…
Here's the build list for anyone who gives a shit 🫢
Shimano Deore FC-MT60 170 mm crankset with 46-30t chainrings
MKS Sylvan pedals
Suntour Compe Pro 13-32t 5-speed freewheel
Suntour power ratchet stem mounted friction shifters
Suntour Cyclone front & rear derailleurs
Dia Compe Gran Compe non-aero brake levers & Dia Compe DC-750 center-pull brakes
36h Mavic G40 hoops laced to first generation Phil Wood hubs & DT Swiss spokes wearing Donnelly Xplor USH 700x35c rubber (this wheelset actually came on the bike) …score!
Nitto Technomic 70mm stem & Nitto Noodle 46cm handlebar with Newbaums bar tape
Jagwire compressionless brake & shifter housings with slick stainless cables
Brooks B17 brown saddle on a Trek seatpost
And to top it off I also scrounged thru my parts bins & found a first generation made in USA Jim Blackburn rear rack & matching bottle cage!!
She rides like a dream! … the frame is actually a little stiffer than I expected for my fat ass being on it… I'm 6'1" and weigh around 220 pounds
