This is kinda my do-it-all bike. I bought the complete bike quite a while ago (it pretty much had all of the original components from catalog). Swapped out most of the retro parts and have been riding it ever since. It definitely makes me smile every time I ride it.

-Trek 990 1992 Large Frame (True Temper OX)
-Stridsland Barnacle (THE fork of this subreddit😅)
-Deore everything
-11-51 cassette 32t chainring

Das Klean – but do you even ride it?
Looks so cleannnn, I love a bike that looks like it wouldn’t make a lot of noise when you bounce it, this boy looks like it would make more of a plunk noise and I love that
This is the first bike I’ve seen where the Stridsland fork looks like it actually belongs on it. Turned out so clean and perfect.
Very nice build! Is the headtube badge original? And what size is your front chainring? Thanks for sharing!

My 970 is my favorite bike. Your 990 is sick, nice job!
Clean as a whistle!
That fork is my spirit animal.
