Just finishing fixing up this Lugged Trek 520 as a gift to my dad for his birthday. Found it on FB for 75 bucks – cool deep purple color with these awesome purple Kooka cranks.
Fully cleaned with fresh cables, switched to a 1x, put some VO Granola Bars on it and was pumped to find some lightly used GravelKing tires with PURPLE tread that I had never seen before. mostly a parts bin buildup after that. Purple frame and tires don’t show up great in the photo but it’s pretty fun.
Honestly, kind of hard to give it to him cause I want to keep for myself 😂

Nice build, but I wouldn’t say the bike was in bad shape!
desirable color and year:) I have a 1990 and a 1993 but I really lust for a 1991:)… it’s beautiful!
Looks amazing. Thanks for saving this awesome bike!
