Just thought I would share it and get some thoughts on it.

Thanks

I have that exact same bike. Mine's now a converted commuter. Good times!

None right now, but I'll get you a few up when I get home from work this weekend. BTW, is that a new paint job? It's in great shape if not. I am going to get mine powder coated all black here shortly with no decals. Not only is my paint job HURTING, but it seems anything with a brand name painted on the side of it is a huge target for theft here in the city lately.

I can't post pictures of my 96, 820, but it's converted into a "euro" style beater bike, with lights, rack, slicks etc.
I found a old white brothers polished crank for it.
Mine is candy red and has little bits, like a matching Trek, frame mount pump.
I was just looking at the odometer the other day and the old beast has about 9000 miles on it.
It still gets ridden regularly.

Later, Eric.

It is the original paint. I have two of these bikes, one is shorter than the other by a couple inches. but they are in perfect condition.
