This is my good friend Blaine’s bike. I’m doing a bit of restoration for him, as this bike will shortly become his second car. My research into this bike, mostly done at Vintage Trek leads me to the conclusion that his bike is a 1984 model, and cost about $680 new. What’s remarkable is that he picked the bike up for $20 at a thrift store seven or eight years ago. Just wait till I’m done with it: it’ll be sexier than when it was new, and for a mere $50 in essential parts.
