My good friend Blaine gave me his 1984 Trek 660 to restore a bit. I did the work for free, and only charged him for parts. I’m really proud of how it turned out, especially for the cost.

In order of importance, he needs the following:

1. Gloves. They’ll work on whatever bike he rides, no matter what.
2. A new handlebar. His are bent. I doubt it’s his fault, but there you go.
3. Bar tape. It’s worthless to put bar tape on bent bars.
4. A new front wheel. His is steel and chrome. He works at a college, though, so I reckon finding an aluminum 27-inch wheel wont be too hard.

I love bikes. And Blaine’s goes fast.
