Not sure why I'm posting a picture of a bike I've not had for about 5 years, but here was my Trek, used to love it!

I had a 1998 Trek/VW 9900 "Pro Issue" in Jekyll and Hyde Yellow/purple split paint job. Although, i have no pictures of it, nor can i find any on the interweb.
Other treks we've had
Early Y11. If you could get it in blue anno then we had it!
Also had a "Bruiser" but we'll skip over that one i think (unless you want to buy the frame lol)

pretty much stock - Keep It Simple
noidea your wifes soooooooooooooooooooooo lucky LOL...
All very NICE ..
KEEP EM comming....
A shonky phone pic of mine:
The frame (with two Revox shocks) was free, and a mate kindly gave me his old 66 fork, though I'll get a DH fork sometime over winter. The rest of the bike was obtained through reacharounds, bro-deals etc so the bike cost around 500 bucks.
njee - i always wanted a 9.8 to match this. beautiful bike!
Yes it was great, I sold the frame for about £150 a few years ago, still sort of wish I hadn't, I loved that bike!
As we're doing road bikes... my old winter road bike:

I've also had a Fuel Ex 9.5, a 1994 OCLV 5200 road bike, and a 2002 5900 road bike, quite like my Treks! Should have a 2010 Top Fuel 9.9 SSL to add in a month or so too!
I've just bought a Fuel EX8 but its so good I havent had a chance to take a photo!
Aaaargghhhh!! Must demo a 2010 EX8 soon.......it's in my shortlist. Didn't realise there were any demo bikes about and I have done lots of googling!!
Opens new window to google 'dales bike centre'.....
Hmmmm. 162 miles might be a bit far to demo a bike. There must be somewhere nearer.....
PS - sorry I am not contributing any pics, but I have never owned a Trek. If anyone knows of anywhere near(er) to P'boro with a Fuel EX8 demo bike, please let me know!
Oh yes Stumpy we've had them for a few weeks now. have spent a bit of time on both the Fuel EX and the Top Fuel and they're both very very good.
You could always come up for the weekend...! Join us on a guided weekend and test bikes too. Check the website www.dalesbikcentre.co.uk and www.dalesmountainbiking.co.uk
I had a quick look at the website - will have a proper look this evening.
We were planning a w/end in mid October in Wales - but I might try & persuade the Comrades to pop up to you instead.
I'll drop a mail over either way.....or stick something on this thread...Ta.
This was my beautiful steel. Fuel EX 8 2009. Was stock apart from hope hoop wheelsets and new formula oro k24 brakes (not pictured).
Picture taken at Afan at the start of the wall - just before the intial fireroad doubles back and gets a bit steeper.
I say was as last week it was stolen............goodbye my precious!
Stumpy01 - If you manage to press gang your guys away from Wales and get yourselves up to the Dales give us a shout with some dates.
We've also got Remedy 7 demo bikes coming soon - We were at the Trek show on Monday and the new Remedy 9.9 carbon flavoured is Art! I don't think I could bring myself to ride it, it is such a good looking bike (sad I know)
Drop us a line...
