Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I found this vintage Trek 520, and I don't know if it would be good for traveling. I also don't know whether I should upgrade it or keep it as it is in the pictures (tires, saddle, handlebars, etc.). by Historical_Boot6398 Bicycle Bicycle Touring Bicycling Biking Cycling Touring

Only_Jury_8448 on September 14, 2025 7:27 pm We could use some more information. What’s your climate like? Is it wet or dry? How far do you want to travel? Are you thinking about day trips or doing overnighters? Are you more interested in speed or comfort? Do you have a set budget? How much have you ridden the bike, if at all?
