Important trek question
Am I losing my mind? A year ago I saw a trek that was white with lime
green letters that said "antelope 800" on upper horizontal bar between the gooseneck and the seatpost. Am I mistaken? Is there a such thing as an antelope 800? Does anyone know where I can find the history of the "antelope" trek model? Please help im going crazy over this.. Thank you for your time. |

You were probably seeing a Trek that was painted under Trek's Project
One program, whereby Trek purchasers can get a custom paint job from the factory for a few hundred dollars. That's my guess. -- |

Important trek question
There WAS a model of mountain bike in the early 1990s that carried the
moniker Antelope. It was the 800, Trek's most basic mountain bike (single- wall rims, least expensive "shop grade" components, heavy steel frame, etc.). Not exactly a collectible, unless one considers the Schwinn Varsity collectible (I don't). bikeolounger -- |

Good point. I thought Mr. Carr was talking about a road bike. My roadi
bias is now exposed for all to see. -- |

Important trek question
I think there was actually a period when trek called all of its 80
series bikes "antelope," including 820 840 etc. probably so the les arythmetically gifted could identify them from others such as the mor exotic (and nameless) aluminium 8000 bikes. a bit like cheap volkswagen seem to be called "biarritz" and "fun" etc as for the colour scheme, that has to be a matter of rather bad taste and one to be avoided - |

In general, if a post needs to be in multiple newsgroups, it's best to post to both at the same time. The "Newsgroups" heading in your email would read, in this case- rec.bicycles.misc;rec.bicycles.tech That way the replies will be posted simultaneously to both newsgroups. The advantage in doing so is that the answer will appear in both at the same time, which should generally shorten the duration of the thread (unless it's about helmets). --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com |
