1985 Trek 500 Series 650b conversion

Hey 650b'ers:

This is my latest conversion. It's a 1985 500 series frame, and all
the clearances are just about right.

David,
Would it be possible to tell us about the components? Thanks!

I have an 84 500 with really similar geometry as that 85.  I used his pics as inspiration when I was thinking about conversion and currently have 38mm Pari Motos on mine.  I am using 45 mm Velo Orange fenders.  One of the captions at Flickr notes that he is using 50 Berthouds fenders and 42mm Hetres.
