I commend you for bringing something new to these bike-refurbishment videos. I like the split-screen action and all the make and model and industry info and anecdotes and crumbs. And I always was a fan of This Old House, so This Old Bike works for me. Thanks.
I have 4 "Real" Trek (made in Wisconsin where I live) bikes. I also worked at TREK in Waterloo 2021-2023 in assembly shop on all the highest end carbon everything sram/shimano tech everything with "Project One" custom to order paintjobs. My '83 520 , '88 400t, '98 720 multitrack and my latest rebuild project is A '92 1200 alum roadbike . All found at thrift stores and to me better than the "Plastic hobbykit" bikes coming out now!!!
Cool vid. I subscribed, will check out your other vids. Have you ever seen a Peugeot U-08 - Juvenile ? I was given one brand new in 1974 , I was 12 years old and too short for even the smallest adult bike, which I think at the time in the US was identified as ' 19" , 21 , 23 and 25 ".... if I remember correctly. I think the Peugeot juvenile was a 17.5 " , 24 " tires , orange , had the built in tire pump, Lyotard pedals , MaFac - "Racer " brakes , a beautiful Peugeot leather seat which I would love to find today, it moulded to you and was super nice, and it had a very reliable Simplex derailleur on the rear, I forget what the front was. Peugeot really built a nice bike for a smaller person , a young adolescent... I put 6109 miles on mine, still have the speedo head. I wish I could find one of those, just to have. I think they are very rare, I am sorry I ever let mine go. Funny how a bicycle can be a thing of emotion. Hope 2025 goes well for you. Thanks again....
Oh wow - I have the exact same bike. 2200, bought in 2001 (in Singapore). I love this bike more than it's possible to say! Same amazing yellow colour. I noticed your customer has replaced the original swan neck stem - I'm still using the original. Mine came with a double chainring, not a triple, which I eventually swapped for a compact double. I upgraded the wheels in 2019 from these same (blue) Bontrager ones to some Fulcrums. And I took some of the decal stickers off - just to show off more of that amazing yellow paint work! Other than that, it's all original (maybe I changed the BB at some point too). BUT - here's the saddest part, I bought it in a hurry in 2001, as I loved it at first sight - and only in 2019 did I get a proper bike fit, and the guy showed me it was too big for me! It's a 56, and i should be on a 54. It always felt a bit big. So now I need to get a new bike, what am I going to do with this old yellow beauty?! Put it on the wall?? It's 24 years old, and still looks almost new. Cannot bear to part with it. Thanks for this video, so good to see there's another yellow classic out there.

Great vid. These 2000/5000 series Trek bikes are all-time gems.
Couldn't agree more!
Just bought a 2006 1500. Love this bike, it’s very fast and well made

Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting, looks beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
What ever happened to that original psa stainless barrel? I know you swapped it at some point
This was in for a tune-up. The owners must have it done before I got to it.
