WTB: Mid to Late 1980's Trek 660 or Trek 2000 (c to t 54cm)

Hi GRJ,

Might you be interested in a Trek 600 with less than 1 mile of ride
distance?

The bike was purchased in 1983 from BikeSport (formerly, a well known
cycling shop) on Sherman Way in Canoga Park, California. It is an
excellent "collectors" bike or a light-weight daily rider.

It is "full Shimano 600 gear" including the "clipless" pedals.
However, I do not have a set of cleats for these particular pedals.
I am fairly confident that there are many new and used sets readily
available.

The frame "size" is 54 cm as measured from the center of bottom
bracket to the middle of the top tube.

The wheels are the original Matrix Titan 700C (which was a Trek item)
but should be properly
serviced and adjusted before being ridden (the lubricant tends to
"dry out" after a few years).

The tires are "original" and look like
new EXCEPT they are very dry and, in my opinion, absolutely not safe to
use for riding - PERIOD! (although the tubes do hold air very
well).

It was "made in the USA" in Waterloo, Wisconsin, which is a small
southeastern Wisconsin town where Trek has been anchored since its
founding in 1976.

The serial number of the frame is 151652.

It has a few minor scratches from being in storage for so many years. I
will rate the overall condition to be an "8 or 9 on a scale of 10".
It is in "almost as new" condition.

It is very light and strong as it is Reynolds 531CS butted frame tubes,
forks and seat
stays (all are original). It is my understanding that Trek still offers
a steel-framed touring bicycle (the model 520) to meet the needs of
their customers who know and prefer the functionality of a steel bike.

It has been my experience that aluminum frames "tends" to be less
"laterally" stable (especially interesting at speeds above 40
mph!!!) - which is the only complaint that I have with my Aluminum
Alan, which I have been riding almost daily since 1989.

I am located in Simi Valley, California.

Have a great day!

Regards,

Don
