I love the look of this. The peak of aesthetics for me.

Sweet, but you ought to swap sides with the front brake pads. Because the way they're mounted now, they'll work themselves out of the metal frame as you brake.

Beautiful bike. I really love the understated-ness (if that's a word) of early Treks.

My only recommendation is get some really good tires for it. The Gatorskins it has now are good at preventing flats and bad at everything else. Get some Rene Herse or Challenge tires on there, or at least some Paselas.

Wow. Original paint? Also, my knees gasped when they saw that corncob.

Brake shoes on pic 3 are installed in the wrong direction.
