There is a fantastic TREK web site, VINTAGE TREK by Skip Echert: http://www.vintage-trek.com

That is one of many amazing web sites on my "Links" page: http://www.velo-retro.com/links.html>

On my Velo-Retro web site: http://www.velo-retro.com

DO NOT miss Skips page on "Component Dates" (Date of Manufacture for Bicycle Components)!!! It's the best I have ever read.

Thanks go to Skip for providing an amazing resource!
