Tall Restored Vintage Trek w/ Lightweight Reynolds 531 Frame - $375 (Stonecrest/Lithonia)
QR Code Link to This Post
1987 Trek 560 Pro Series racing bike. It has new cables, new cable housings, new brake pads, a new chain, and new internal bearings. It has been completely overhauled. It has a lugged frame made of lightweight Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing. The stays and fork are chrome-moly. Even though this is a big frame, it is lightweight due to the Reynolds tubing.
The bike shifts gears, brakes, and rides ultra-smooth.
The frame measures 25.5"(65cm) from the center of the crank to the top of the top tube. The standover height is 34.5" from the ground to the top of the top tube. A rider 6'3 and taller should fit. To check fit; measure your crotch height to see if you are taller than the standover height to see if you can straddle the top tube while flat-footed. Leg length is more important than your total height.
This is a 12-speed(6x2) road/racing bike. The bike has Shimano 105 derailleurs and Shimano 105 indexing(clicking)shifters. The drivetrain has a 6-speed freewheel(13-21t), and Shimano 105 crankset w/ 52/42t biopace chainrings. It has Shimano 105 brake calipers with new brake pads. The hubs are Shimano w/ aluminum rims and Continental Grand Prix 700x23c tires. New KMC chain. San Marco suede leather seat.
The bike was completely disassembled. All the components and the drivetrain were removed, deep-cleaned, and adjusted. The fork was removed and the headset bearings were replaced, greased, and the headset was adjusted. The wheelhub bearings were all replaced, greased and adjusted. The internal cups and cones where the bearings travel were all deep-cleaned to provide the cleanest and smoothest surface possible. The wheels were trued, the rims and spokes were individually cleaned. The bottom bracket was overhauled with new bearings and grease. The frame was cleaned and polished. The brake calipers and levers, shifters, derailleurs, cranks, chainrings, and drivetrain were all disassembled and rebuilt. There's not a nut or bolt on the bike I haven't touched.
I have left the handlebars bare so that you can customize it with whatever color bartape you like, and so we can adjust the brake levers before locking them down with bartape. I have a couple of colors of tape for sale. Let me know if you want me to bring these along when we meet up.
The bike has some scuffs...and scratches. I touched-up the scratches to prevent rust.

Old grease, combined with dirt, will harden and damage the operation of the bearings. This will cause internal damage, and can make your bike dangerous(especially with the headset bearings which allow you to steer). If you're looking to buy any used bike, find out when the last time the bearings were overhauled (not a "tune-up"). If it has not been done in 5 yrs, I strongly recommend having it done.
