SOLD Trek 520 Touring bike - Steel - 58cm

For sale is my Trek 520.

It's largely original and doesn't seem to have had a hard life before I owned it. Hand-built in the USA, these are similar to a Dawes galaxy etc. It's a bonafide touring bike with the typical cross between road and MTB equipment.

Spec:

- 58cm / 23" chromoly frame/fork
- Bontrager rims (700c) with shimano LX hubs
- Shimano 105 chainset & front mech.
- New-ish Shimano BB (Octalink jobby. 6600 I think? Cant remember. A good one anyway!)
- Dia-compe bar-end shifters
- Shimano LX rear mech, 9 speed
- 35c tyres, good condition
- Various original bontrager bits (seatpost, stem, bars)
- Avid single digit v-brakes

I've put mudguards on it. Bit tatty.

It's got a Blackburn rack (not currently on the bike but can be included with the sale if the buyer want's it)

I haven't spent much time cleaning or tweaking this. The headset (cane creek) could probably do with a re-grease, and I note that the chain is looking pretty old, however I've done quite a few miles on it with no issues.

NOTE - Seat shown on the photo's is NOT included, but i'll dig out another seat.

Photo's are from last year but nothing has changed really. Can update the photo's for anyone interested.

£200 or will take a good offer?

Pick up only, Bolton.
