After twenty or so years I decided it was time to kick it like a kid again. Man is this thing alot of fun! I still plan on putting miles on my Litespeed but I could not resist this bike or the price, Thanks Ebay! Just thought I would share. I justified it by saying it was really for my kid.

No gyro? No pegs?
Anyone remember the movie Rad? |

The threadless headset tells me that it isn't that old school.

If you like that, you'd love this.
I tried one and was immediately re-acquainted with my joy for skid-stops. |

Yeah it is not truly old school. It is a 98-ish trek. Not really keeping with the origins but hey, it is fun.

If you like it, and like riding it, it can't be bad.
Sadly I pine for my old high school and college commuting bike, a department-store brand 10 speed. Went through a good number of tires on it, having been ridden every day for years as primary transportation. |

Besides, I'm about ready to go overseas again... so buying a bike wouldn't make much sense right now. Ask me again in about eight months, it'll be a different story.

Myabe I will clean the dust off and make it function again. |

Damn man dust off that Trickstar.
I have a Floval Flyer(2005) and a Quadangle cruiser that is all new parts in boxes, but I need to buy a pair of 24" graphite tuff wheels to finish it. |
