Phil M’s 1981 Trek 614

Posted

Phil M, owner and submitter of one of my favorite SSS to date, is back again. This time around, he’s offering up a very nice looking 1981 Trek 614.  Replace the FNC with a tasteful Maes bend, and you’ll “have me at ‘hello'”.

Year   1981
Make  TREK
Model  614

A little bit about it:  Had one (TREK 1980 614)  that I had purchased in college and it was stolen about 2 yrs ago.  Found this one (In rough shape ) on ebay.  Did complete restoration.  Drive train is all Shimano Blue line.  New cables are Jagwire braided metalic in the grey/silver. It now sports a Brooks b-17 instead of the Avocet touring that is pictured.

Thanks Phil

    Do you know what the point of the fenders are? I’ve seen them before but I’m not sure what they do.

      The front one keeps crap from kicking up into the headtube. The rear is to balance out the look. 🙂 I’d go with inverse or cyclocross levers tho. Nice looking ride!

    Blue line was Suntour not Shimano
