Well, here´s my latest one; thanks to a very good friend a carbon Trek arrived at home; it´s almost a time capsule one ... hope you like it as much as I do.

Lovely bike and great find! I see it still has its original tires, proper time capsule then.

I just restored its brother:

Looking good. I love the early Trek Carbon frames, look so cool!!

 

[maxhc]

Yep, that´s a nice ride; I´ve made some changes since the last pics:

FSX Fork to match carbon tubes



Control Tech stem for a better position



Control Tech stem must go with a Control Tech bar ¡!



A broken Trek seatpost lead up to an EDR Ti. post



Last series of Ringlé´s QR´s:



And this is the final result, hope you like it.

Very nice! I love it.
But man, check your cam. The colours seem faded or pale somehow... doesn't do the bike justice.

sensible mods looking good - only the pink parts of the seatpost doesn't match.
