Used 1995 Trek 8700 Mountain Bike -- bought at the Pomona Swap Meet -- Overall

The picture doesn't show it but the bike is a little rough.  Will swap out the seat, seat post, goose-neck & handle bar.  Will also remove a bunch of stuff, like the bike stand, and junk mounted on the handlebar...

Someone painted the body of the front fork black.  Looks like they were yellow (can see through all the scratched paint).  May try to remove the black paint...

The main tubes are carbon fiber & the joints are aluminum.

Most of the groupset appears to be original to the bike (Shimano Deora LX/SX).




This is from the 1995 Trek Brochure.  This is what the bike should have look like when new...
