Product recommendations

  • bars
    8 posts in the past month
    1. What kind of bars do you guys think would look best with a 91 trek 750?
    2. Recommend me wide-ish silver 26.0 drop bars with some flare and a fairly compact transition to the hoods.
    3. Took the front rack and basket off to use on another build. Looking to make this more sporty - which budget bars and tires do you recommend? (2nd pic is the before)

    1. Anybody know what’s the best way to get a good suspension fork?
    2. Recommend me a fork
    3. Bought this when I graduated HS in '97. Are there rebuild kits for the forks (Indy SL) or can someone recommend a rigid fork replacement? I thank you!
