I have a '95 Trek 850 Mountain Track. I LOVE this bike!!! I have ridden many of my friends newer "more advanced" bikes, but I guess I have just gotten so used to mine over the years that I can't bring myself to 'upgrade' to a newer bike. (It would be like throwing out my favorite pair of jeans... I'm comfortable in them!!)
The one thing I would like to upgrade on the bike is to add some front suspension to it. (It is completely rigid - I have done nothing but minor maint. to it since I bought it new in '95). I broke my wrist last summer, and I believe this upgrade would offer some relief to my aching wrist!!! ( I'm not as young as I used to be ) The dilema (?) I'm having is I don't know what I'm looking for! I don't know any of the measurements (1"-1 1/8"-1 1/2") or if its threadless or not.
If anyone can offer any advice on where I might find the info or, even better, if you know the answers, It would be greatly appreciated. Bear in mind that the bike brand new in '95 only cost me $300, so I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on anything, I would most likely get something used (Ebay is your friend ) but I need to know WHAT to look for!!
Thanks in advance...
