Lot of fancy bikes here, allow me to wtf this up a bit. Here is my noble steed.
1997 Trek Mountain Track 850 turned ultimate klunker gravel bikey thing.
I posted about it a while back when I first got it. Only thing left on it that is OEM is the headset and rear derailleur. Next time it’s due for a re-cabling I may swap the stem, new front brake cable hangar, and ditch the bar end/oem STX derailleur for a Microshift advent 1x9 setup.
I’ve spent way more than I should, but when I got this thing I knew 0 about bikes. Now I can do most of the wrenching myself provided I have the right tool(s). Really fun learning experience and great bike for navigating New Orleans streets. Obviously I don’t do any serious road riding, but just wanted to share because I like talking bikes.
ETA: obligatory #steelisreal and #26aintdead

I've got a kind of specific question if anyone can help. Does anyone wear Specialized shoes? I found a pair in size 43.5, which is what I wear in Diadora, but I want to make sure it's consistent. Size 10 running shoe if that helps.

I love a good frankenbike. I have mad respect for people who can turn old frames into super versatile bikes like this.
