My Lugged Treks (another 1983 620)

This is a 19" 620 that is about ready to get a small rider on it for ride!

8s bar cons and BR-A550 brakes, should be a competent little tourer!

FD is a Sora triple that works o.k. with the low ball J&B SunLite 46/36/26 crankset, ya gotta set it up a bit higher to avoid middle ring rub on the inner cage

The

MKS M.M. Cube Pedals

I've tried quite a few SPDs (and variants) Cranks Bros, Keywin Mudman and the MKS pedals top them all

This pic shows the EZY release crank attachment (like an air hose chuck thingy) which might be a nice feature to have on a spare bike to swap out pedals

These pedals are very easy in and out and have quite a bit of float

Cartridge bearings !

Mrs D et self have been using these pedals with Shimano and Lake sandals year round

I also have a pear of Keywin Mudman pedals that are nice, Ti spindle and very lite butt $+; the Mudmans are the easiest of any pedal I've tried to get out of!

Racks On The DoubleCross

An IRD Stainless Khyber on the rear and a Minoura on the front

Both from Merry Sales the SomaFab folks

The Minoura is very hard to find and I don't think that it is currently being imported, I got the last three that Merry Sales had

The top platfom on the Minoura is a very nice feature for any front rack, Jandd, IRD, and Surly Nice front racks do have a top platforms

SomaFab DoubleCross Tour Bike

Pretty straight forward setup, 8s, SunRace 12 -34 and XD600 (24 inner) and barcons

Oryx cantis, SKS fenders, Am Classic SP and old SSM Regal saddle; MKS MM Cube pedals

Got those old C'dale panniers from Bill Veatch with the 720


Now fitted with Phil Wood hubbed, DT TK 7.1 rimmed wheels (DT db 14, 36x, cross 3) and a Phil Wood BB

...'nuther lugged tourer (1984 Voyager)

Last year's project is an 84 (or 85) Voyager, Tenax, lugged, green, a very nice old bicycle

I've done an overniter to Walnut Creek on it and (truth be known) it is just as nice a tourer as my SomaFab DoubleCross

I use it to commute to shoppe sometimes

Sugino XD300, 8s barcons and SunRace 12 - 34

New Shimano Altus CT Cantis (Will work on old 27" spec'd bikes)

New wheels, 700c CR18 on LX, DT 14 36x 3x

SBS (InLine) low rider front, kinda Blackburn knock, off and a Zefal rear rack

My Lugged Treks (1983 620)

This is really a pretty nice bike!

This juan is a 22"; have another "83" 620, a 19" this is shaping up and will have 8s bar cons

Now 700c with original LePree hubs laced to CR-18 rims, 14g DT 36x cross 3

XD300 and 6s Shimano FW 14 - 32 (indexed); Deore RD and original (probably) Sachs Huret FD

Original Hinault (SL) headset (still smooth!)

Got the last couple sets of BR A550 (nutted) long reach dual pivot brakes that J&B had

Think the levers are 105 Aero

My Lugged Treks (1984 720)

.............got six lugged Treks!

The most pukka juan being a (near) original 1984 720 (22")

Got this gem from old friend Bill Veatch, it is a bit big for me

Wheels are now 700c CR-18 on original hubs and a "newer" Shimano RD in lieu the original Eco Duopar, original Shimano cantis w/DC copy aero brake levers

7s Aris FW (not original, was 6s Shimano), original SunTour barcons
