90s TREK Mountain Track XC - One Bike, Two Transformations
I bought this 1996 Trek XC 870 for just $40 and restored it on a budget for the next Retro MTB WA group ride. In this video I go through the full process: a quick walk-around of the bike’s condition, the repairs it needed, the upgrades I added, and how the bike performed on the trail. After the ride, I converted the same bike into a retro MTB cruiser, showing how versatile these old 90s mountain bikes really are. If you’re into retro MTB restoration, Trek MTB builds, budget bike projects, or 90s mountain bikes, this video is for you.
