Finished bringing this mid-80s Trek Cirrus 620 back to life—this one’s special as it was inherited from my bonus family. It’s been garaged/barn-kept since the 80s and finally getting the ride it deserves.
Full refresh top to bottom:
* All new cables + housing
* Overhauled frame and components
* Original 27” wheels kept, now rolling on fresh Panaracer Pasela ProTite tires (1 1/4)
* Stock cantilever brakes with new Jagwire brake pads
Cockpit got a comfort + style upgrade:
* Nitto Tallux stem
* Nitto moustache bars wrapped in BTP cloth tape
* Suntour Accushift shifters running in friction mode
Kept it mostly period-correct with a few rider-focused tweaks. Super smooth, surprisingly light, and way more lively than my Trek 520.
Always cool bringing something like this back from storage—especially when it stays in the family and gets a second life on the road 🤙
