Vintage Classic Trek SL Racing bike Aluminium frame Car
Super-light bike (less than 10kg) in ride-able condition as it is but would benefit from further improvement/adjustment. 56 cm aluminium frame, Bontrager handlebars, Bontrager Carbon Fibre front forks (I think!). Tiagra rear change mech. Campagnolo combination brake/gearshift levers. - That's the Good Bits!

Gear changing is a bit random! The original gear shifters were broken when I got the bike so I fitted a pair of campagnolo combined brake/gear-shifters that I had lying around. I think the rear one is for a 9 speed, so as there only 8 cogs on the back, sometimes you don't know for certain which gear you are going to get. Similarly the front mech changer is not as slick as I would like. I think most of this is just down to adjustment and the patience to spend a bit of time fine tuning. I think I have priced the bike realistically to take account of these shortcomings. Read more
