I have a Trek bike for sale. I cannot answer any questions, as I am not a bike person--although I DO know that this bike won the Tour De France in '68. Please see pics, and if they aren't good enough, I can take more for you, or measure the bike's dimensions if you need that information. I am asking $250 OBO I would like to sell this bike soon. PLEASE make it obvious in your email that you are not spam, or I will not respond to you, out of fear of my computer exploding. Include your phone number, and don't ask me if I still have it, I will remove this ad after watching it get loaded onto it's new owner's Subaru.



I'm not sure if the seller is referring to this specific bike or just the model when s/he says that "this bike won the Tour De France in '68". The bike pictured appears to be an early '90s aluminum Trek 1100. This has me wondering if maybe Jan Janssen, the '68 Tour winner, had been visited by a young Michael Fox driving a modified De Lorean sometime before the '68 Tour.

Hmm... maybe time-travelling bike technology will be the new doping.
