I picked up this 750 (1990) a month or so ago intending to ride it stock. The brake levers and shifters wouldn't play nice with the new Ritchey Kyote handlebar, and a nice donor bike fell from the sky. I now have a sweet 3x8 with V brakes and aggressive 700x42 tires. IMO, it retains the same "feel" with some subtle improvements.
Built up a 1996 750 and I’m wondering what tires to get so I wanted to hear what you guys have tried and what you rate?
Do you think fenders are worth it?
I heard 45mm fit but I don’t wanna buy some tires that end up not fitting
$90 on Craigslist. Manufactured 94-95 time frame, TIG welded chromoly steel frame, probably not quite as vintage as most of the bikes on here. My original thought was to convert it to a fixie (it's a 3x7 right now), but after doing five or so miles on it, the ride was so good that I might not. I'll probably push it back to a two by, and I'm thinking I may put a 10 speed cassette that I have hanging around on it. Definitely doing drop bars. Absolutely loving the frame.
Just finished this Trek Multitrack build. 21 inch frame. Fits pretty darn nice. I’m 6’1. 33/34, inseam so long torso.
21" 730, a little scruffy. Biggest bar ends I've ever seen. Plan is new tires, saddle, trigger shifters, cables and housings. Very cool bike.
Hi everyone! I’m from Mexico City. I recently bought this bike at a street market, and honestly, I didn’t know anything about it at the time.
Once I got home, I started doing some research and found out that apparently it’s a highly sought-after Trek, especially because of the unique joints at the corners of the frame.
As far as I can tell, everything appears to be original, except for the grips.
I’m really glad I found it without even knowing what I had!
Greetings from Mexico City, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🚲
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.
Loaded everything up on the front as a bit of an experiment and it handled road, gravel, broken concrete and single track pretty well.
For those who might ask: pelago commuter rack with Carradice super c front panniers and a manivelle basket with a kriega US20 motorcycle tail bag packed in it.
This trip included my first visit to the woods cyclery where my gf (not a bike person) immediately gravitated towards the Rivendell frames. Girls got taste.
We love the new forest.
Hi all, I'm looking at a 1991 750 frame in size 19". I'm just under 5'11" and wear pants with 30" or 31" inseam length. Would the 19" fit okay? The top tube length looks great am just wondering about the stack height as it looks pretty low.
Thanks!
This bike has definitely become my favorite. Planning to take it on a 5 day tour next month and I’m stoked.
1995 Gary Fisher Alfresco. a.k.a Multitrack 750.
The best part about a heat advisory, you nearly have the whole park to yourself
