Footless, armsless, headless, retired from pedaling bicycle. (Original Post) George McGovern Aug 16 OP

I had a Trek bike just like that in the early 1980s, toeclips and all. Great bike. Think it was model # 410. Silent Type Aug 16 #1

Real good Silent Type! This one is circa 1977. I finally replaced the original drop bars when they affected my back. George McGovern Aug 16 #7

It is a great bike. Had every intention to ride it cross country, but chickened out. Alas...

It has seen some miles. I like biking all terrain. But mostly paved surfaces any more.
Stay safe and stay fit !
