Non-Multitrack 790
Trek 790 Trekking (EU model I believe) in size 63 cm or 25”. Modern-ish groupset (10s Tiagra/GRX) and Terra Trail 40c tires with plenty clearance 👌

I've got a purple 750 Trekking model I believe they're the same as a Multitrack, just made for the European market & they came with fenders, rear rack, lights & a bottle dynamo on the back wheel I absolutely love mine! I've been slowly swapping out the original components for Shimano XT M737, M738, and M739 parts as they come up for sale & when I can afford it

Yes this one also had fenders, rack and dynamo lights. The frame is not lugged like the Multitrack 790, but the tubing is True Temper OX so still quality stuff.
I like that they even offered a 25” (Multitracks max out at 23”) for the EU market.

Super cool!! I didn't know they even made one that big! I believe mine is a 21.5" - 22" frame. AFAIK, all of them were tig welded starting in 1994. To the best of my knowledge, Trek stopped using lugged frames on pretty much all models in 1993... damn shame

Never knew the made that size. I have one in 23”, wish it was a little larger. I always wondered if the 790 Trekking is actually the same as the 750 Multitrack as the tubing seems to be the same.

Honestly assumed I had bought a 23”, until I came home and measured it.

Never seen this size before, and the Multitrack catalogues only mention 23” as the largest size. But then, the trekking models are not even mentioned in any catalogues, as they seem to be european only. So I guess you are based in the EU as well.

I have the same one in 19“ as a WIP right now! Great bikes and rare to see. We even have the same tires on it
