FS: 1989 Trek 950 (some mods: 650b, dropbars, powdercoated)

[Josh Zielinski]

Sorry if you saw on BOB list, cross posting here as it is indeed 650b (slightly more unusual 26"-650b conversion!):

One of my favorite build projects and a very fun bike to ride but I need to make some room (as they say).  Some parts of this bike are a bit redundant with others which have for whatever left me riding this one less and less despite it being a much better bike--with nicer parts.  Overall, everything is in really good condition and not heavy used.

Makes a great adventure rider: trails, gravel, bikepack, camping, tourer, around towner, etc.

It's more unique than the last complete I tried to sell here which makes me think it's probably destined to get parted out as well but here it goes:

Frame/fork: 1989 Trek 950 18".  True Temper 4130 chromo double butted tubes.  Powder coated in a Curry color (RAL 1027).  Small scrape from chain suck (old RD, new one much better!) otherwise pretty minty

Wheelset: Velocity Cliffhanger rims to Deore XT hubs.  650B!  Frame is designed for 26" but is very awesome on 650b wheels!

Tires: WTB Senderos 650bx47mm. Tan sidewalls, currently set up tubeless.  Underrated tire!  

Crankset: Specialized Flag triple.  Cold forged, classic goodness.

Cassette: Shimano 11-34

Shifters: Dia Compe Ene Cilco Bar Ends Silver

Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore LX

Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore M592 black

Handlebar: Crust Nullabar 26.0 clamp 48cm width Silver

Stem: Nitto Technomic (short length, like 50 or 60mm) Silver

Brake levers: Tektro RL520 (road levers that pull v-brakes) black hoods/silver levers

Brakes: ProMax P-1 linear pull 108mm size Silver.  Super awesome for 26"-650b!

Seatpost:  Nitto Crystal Fellow 26.8. Silver (again, best named bicycle part ever)

Cables/housing: Jagwire.  Nice/clean/newer

Think I'll keep pedals (FUNN Mambas black) and saddle (old Avocet O2).

Here's a flickr album featuring pics of the bike.  Unfortunately, the only picture with all the current parts is one with me standing on it (not even driveside!):

Only one of current build:

I'd like to sell it complete for $750.  Split shipping via Bikeflights or Pirateship.

Please reach out with questions or additional photo requests!

If no one is interested in complete build here (or elsewhere, should I try there) I'll probably begin to part it out before I ride it again and keep it forever...

Thanks!
