Trek 1400


Trek 1400, very different from the stock bike. Onl;y the frame is original. This is my current strength development bike. Using the DMR singlespeed conversion it runs 48/16 with development of around 75 inches and freewheel so most Grampian hills hurt the thighs. Here fitted with SQR Tour saddle bag and Ironman spinachis. I may get round to replacing the 105 STI's with Aero Brake levers but more likely to locate a frame with specific fixed gear bike and then convert this to a TT bike. The most noticable thing about this bike is the silence, there is no chatter from a derailleur, it is smooth and very very silent.
