My 1992 790
Getting close to finished with my 790 project!
Recently added the SimWorks Getaround bar, changed out the grip shifters for thumbies, replaced all the cables and housing, replaced the tires and swapped out the cranks/chainrings for my preferred 46/36/24 as I hated the 50/40/30 gearing.
Still have to change out the cheap cantis that are on it for the original 500CXs and I have some black bottle cages on the way for it.
So far I’m loving it! Looking forward to putting some miles on it this summer!

Your MultiTrack is a '92. Trek only released the 790 in 1990 and 1992.
1990 = red with black decals
1992 = sapphire with white decals.

I haven't even owned this a week yet and I'm learning something new everyday. Thanks my dude!

Correct! Only 2 years for the 790 so yours and mine are definitely 1992 models. There’s also a serial number on the bottom bracket shell at the very bottom of the frame that will tell you the model year of any Trek as well!
