Haven't heard of an old Trek frame potentially fitting 48s... what year is this 510? I have an '83 614 frame hanging up in the shed, waiting for a 650b conversion. From what I've read it'll fit 42s & fenders, but only with dimpling. On Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 12:15:03 PM UTC-6 exliontamer

It looks like you had some fun with your resto-mod Captain Picard Special - love it! You are inspiring my N+1 daydreams. I've done a few old bike restorations over the years - all with rattle can resprays. Would you mind adding some fuel to my fantasies and share the details of your paint
