Bought a trek restomod for $50 decked out with STI shifters and a brooks saddle, but decided to make it a little townie bike for my bike who is pregnant and can’t ride drop bars right now.
Took off the drop bars, added some soma swallow bars, paul thumbies with 9 speed, and replaced the brakes with these gran compe center pulls + racks I’ve had sitting in my parts bin for a decade.
I have no idea which trek model this is, but I’m guessing it’s pre-1990. Glad to repurpose this bike.
Currently running 32s, but can go up to 35s. Just not sure if these skinnier box rims (mavic MA2) can handle that wide of a tire. I think I’m already pushing it with 32s.

Looks just right. Enjoy
Man I’ve always wanted that front rack. You have the dia compe bag for it as well?
Nice.
Your bike is pregnant? How did that happen and who is the lucky dad?
