Evolution of a 750
Originally purchased sometime in 1993, to carry a kid seat, then later to pull a trailer with kids and/or groceries in it.
It went to college with one of the kids and lived a hard life outside. The anodized coating on the Matrix Titan Tour rims was worn clean off.
Later, it received a makeover to drop bar form, double cyclocross crank, a mix of Ultegra and D-A 9-speed components, and a Nashbar carbon 'cross disc brake fork. The front wheel was a Velocity Dyad laced to a Shimano MTB disc hub. Front brake was an Avid BB7.
The blue powdercoat was applied by a local garage shop for $75. It came out great.
As this bike was too small for me and too large for any of the kids it was eventually sold off as a commuter. I didn't realize at the time that the lugged variants were scarce or I might have hung on to it.
