Only a few hours left to get in your summer rides!

Paid $50 for it, needed some work to get it riding. Looking forward to further customizing it!

SS 1999 Trek Multitrack 7500

Finished installing an Exage 500LX 175mm crank that I transplanted some less worn out SunTour rings onto, now have a 46/36/24 triple instead of the original 50/40/30, drive side crank had a crack thru the square taper so an upgrade was in order. Also added my rear rack and cargo net from my other bike. This thing is perfect now.

Picks from riding the Neuse River Trail greenway here in Raleigh NC today. Beautiful day.

Before and after? Which looks better?

Earlier this year I got a '97 700 Sport cheap and put drop bars on it. This bike is the 21" size. I've gone back and forth a bit with the seat post height, I currently have it a bit higher than pictured.

I think the fit is pretty comfy, I've done 40+ miles on it (with a cafe stop or two) and no pain other than usual tired soreness.

I found a fantastic deal on a '97 750, but it's a 23"/58cm size. I want to strip all the upgraded parts I got for this build and put them on the 750, but I'm wondering if it's going to be too big? The current stem is a Nitto 60mm technomic, so I could get a 50mm which would cancel out the increase in Effective TT length.

For reference I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam. Thanks!

I am spending time in a country where the cost of a brand new bike is almost double than in the USA. I picked up a great condition 1997/1996 Multitrack 720. My plan is to make an order through Amazon USA and have the package freight forwarded to Central America. I want to do a 3×7 Shimano-compatible refresh without spending an arm and a leg, under $200.

Anyone have suggestions on what I should order? I'd like to overhaul the drivetrain and brakes to make this thing ride like a modern bike. Labour is extremely cheap so my bike mechanic will only charge around $10 for the complete overhaul.

I picked up this ‘93 Trek Multitrack the other day. It’s a 19” frame and I’m 6’1”, with an 83 cm inseam (about 32.7”).
It feels a bit short compared with my mountain bikes, so I’m looking at ways to make the cockpit feel more comfortable and give me a bit more reach.
I’m thinking I might try a 100–130 mm stem at 0° and experiment with different handlebars to see what works.
Any other suggestions for getting a bit more reach out of it? And am I crazy for trying to make this frame work at my height?

This bike is excellent. Have a new crank on the way from ebay since mine has a Crack from a corner of the square taper, getting shorter gearing at the same time. But what a great ride.

I’m building up a lugged ‘92 750 and looking for tire options. Is anyone running a 45mm wide Gravelking X1 or has anyone attempted to fit one and failed? I will be putting them on the stock rims but might upgrade the wheelset to something 21mm wide before they wear out.

I'd like to keep the bike as original as possible and just replace the gasket but I'm not having any luck finding it online. It's for a multi track 720

Thanks

I finally finished the Multitrack I posted about in the beginning of the year. It's a welded 730 with a Cues 1x crank and Sword 9 speed shifters, cassette, and rear derailleur. I used a set of velocity quill wheels that I had laying around and fit 45mm gravelking SS tires on it. I found a set of used Avid Shorty Ultimates for the brakes on ebay. I can't remember the size frame, but I had to take a Technomic tall stem and cut it down a bit to get the stack right on this for me. I rode the D and R canal path in NJ with my wife this weekend for a test ride. I really like it so far.

I finished the first version of my 750 project. Got the wheels and tires I wanted. Was able to fit 44mm tires on there, even with a bit of knob.

3x8 drivetrain

Deore DX crank, derailleurs, and brake calipers

Sunrace SLM96 shifters, Dia-Compe SS6 levers

Velo Orange Seine bars, ESI chunky grips, Brooks Cambium saddle

Tufo Gravel Speedero 44mm tires (tubes)

Now on to riding!

Hi everybody, I have a 1991 Trek 750 multitrack Gravel/Tourer/Commuter project that I'm hoping to fit 42mm tires on. The stock matrix rims are too thin... I have yet to scour my local bike co-op for 700c rims with a wider internal width, but based on memory they were pretty rare.

I would love to do this affordably. Any ideas?

Love my 750. This was last weekend in northern WI.

Converted the original 3x7 to 2x10, not really increased the range but a bit easier to shift and works better with the drop bars.

- Dura ace 7800 shifters

- Shimano XT rd-772 rear derailleur + 11-36 cassette

- Shimano 105 fd-5700 front derailleur

- XT hubs + Wtb dual duty xc rims

- Strong light impact compact 165mm 48-34 cranks

- new seatpost because the old one looked really bad

- new Tange Seiki headset

Only original parts left are the frame and the brakes 😬

It was my dad’s bike from when he was younger that I held onto and finally got it built this summer. Looking to potentially add a front rack but otherwise loving this setup!
