I have been trying to get this bike for 3 weeks now. the owner travels the world you see and had only pulled the Trek out to get at something in the back of the garage. His wife suggested he sell it and it took 3 weeks of serious discussion before he realized my immense passion for old Treks. I loved you story and I can't wait for Saturday..... georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564339178463647340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-54657430104227407302015-02-16T12:04:54.053-05:002015-02-16T12:04:54.053-05:00Just stumbled across this article and it made me s...Just stumbled across this article and it made me smile, I grew up in Portland and had just got out of college and was earning was earning my first real paycheck in 1986. I'm sure I visited some of those same brew pubs -like the place in Produce row downtown that was the first venture for the McMenamins brothers, alas I had not rediscovered cycling at that point although I did buy a Montgomery Wards Mountain bike in about 1989, I don't recall why, that I rode maybe once before selling to a friend -not quite as sweet as your Trek Antelope.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-40991634507553419402013-06-14T12:04:27.043-04:002013-06-14T12:04:27.043-04:00How cool is that?

I just bought an old, un-loved 86 Trek Antelope 850 (at least I think it's a 1986, near as I can tell from researching them online) in a dark green color that someone had blasphemed with low handlebars and allowed to rust. I found it on Craigslist and fixed it up...new tires & tubes, new handlebars, new cables, etc. This has become a much-enjoyed restoration project. I must say, it isn't half as pretty as the shiny red one in your picture!John in NW Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308013073770217018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-43532697716586460232012-03-16T02:58:04.943-04:002012-03-16T02:58:04.943-04:0080's Trek... very nice.
