Putting an age on Treks

[vamanoz]

Hi all.....sorry if there is another thread answering this but I need to age a TREK frame to get the right BB...either 110mm or 113mm (both 73mm English).

The frame is Burnt orange (metallic) and black....usual layout of orange rear fading to black front half.


I am Saracen nut normally but want to make this Trek up in to a tourer (cos its not a saracen)....

The spindle lengths changed '95'96 ish.

Blonde moment......it's a Trek 930...sorry

Thanks in anticipation you luverly people.

Hello from a fellow Saracen fan.

Post up some photos of your Trek and I'm sure somebody will be able to give you some more information about it.

Thanks both, I will get the photo of the frame uploaded later......

It depends entirely on which cranks you're using. Which are they?

Good Point.....I am going for a proper touring setup...mainly because thats the spare bits I have unused in the shed...

Shimano LX chainrings (Square taper of course) 22-34-44 with 170mm arms
and because I am past 40 and not in shape (well not the right shape :-( ) a 14-34 Mega at back.

Thanks

Sorry all I cannot get a file or picture to upload!!! My Phone wont dumb down the image enough to load it as a JPEG or embed it in the post!

One correction though is the frame is Black at the rear and fading to a red/orange metallic colour...not the other way round as stated before.

Thanks
