I have a frame and want to install a shorter A2C rigid fork. I think the "correct" fork length for the frame is about 425mm or 42.5cm. From the manufacturer, the BB should be about 12 inches or 30.5cm. When I installed my 425mm fork, the bike seemed a little "stretched" out. Realistically the...

sorry mine is 16.5 but close enough. '94 Trek 8700. I kinda like the look of smaller bikes rather than stretched out larger sizes. just my preference and the one and only reason being short is good.[/URL]

long shot

want some general info on brake boosters as i am riding a rigid 1x9 '95 Trek 8700 as a commuter. i have one pretty short but steep hill to conquer on my way to work but noticed the other day some vibration when braking on the way down the hill. I guess that's some flex? sorry for the ignorance...

my dream bike back in 95 when i was still going to college and a new dad. never could afford one. fast foward almost 20 yrs later and through persistance i found one my size on craigslist. Although not in my state, the dude was suprisingly willing to sell and send it to me to the middle of the...

i just scored a 95 trek 8700 zx which i want to build as 1x9 using my cook bros rsr cranks. problem is my middle 33T 110bcd HB ring which i want to use won't clear by a small bit. what is my best option? 1) use 94 bcd cook bros e crank to run a 32T? i am assuming that a 32T would clear or...

i have a 1995 trek 8700 shx on the way and would like to install a exotics carbon rigid fork. i am a little stumped on which length fork i need to get to get the geometry and fit correct i definately do not want the front end of the bike angling upwards and would like a more identical ride...

this is the one with polished stays not the red, orange or purple one. need one in good shape

Bought from RAFbikes aka Staf. Great person. Vintage stem in reanodized 3DV purple and blue 1 1/8” I had this custom reanodized 3DV for my Klein but I just didn’t like the look on my bike. The color is cool but I just rather have the shorter, stubbier Thompson stem. The reano actually kind...

Back in '94-'95 i was a single parent, bartender/univ student. I just got into MTB and I just loved the look and tech of the 8700 SHX (the one that is all alu and carbon mains). Alas i couldn't never afford it at that time and had to pass it for an entry level MTB. forward 16 yrs and i am on...
