Converting Retrobikes into gravel rigs.

[grantoury]

Here's my old 93 Trek 700 I converted and I had a blue 1990 Trek 750 that converted and used to tour on till I crashed it. I'm currently on a 90's Bianchi boardwalk that's pictured above^^^View attachment 1006077

Isn't that later, judging from the decals? I'd say 97/98

Yes, I was going to say the same. Trek started using that font from 1997 onwards. And putting the number on the top tube instead of seat tube even later, so maybe 99-00

Rig (noun) - an apparatus, device, or piece of equipment designed for a particular purpose

'Bicycle' (noun) - also see 'hoarder / hoarding'

isn't this sufficient now?

Where was my fax on this??

Now you mention it, yes

Just going by what I was told when I bought it. Either way it was way too tubby, too steep of a seat tube angle and had too long of a wheelbase for my tastes off road wise. So I donated the frameset to the local co-op.

Thank you for noticing, I am all aglow with youthful vigor (and ignorance).

Probably not a real emergency, just someone trying to fit drop bars to their hybrid so it can be called a gravel rig
