90s trek 820

I picked up this for $20 not sure what its resale value is but figured for 20 bucks I couldn't get hurt on it.

All cleaned up, re-greased and tuned up, I get $125-$150 for an 820 with original components. Nice step up from the 800, cro-moly frame and a step above entry level components, sometimes Araya rims.

Going to clean it and tune it up and put it on cl In the next couple days and see what I can get for it

Got home and put air in the tires and took it for a short spin. The only thing it needs is cleaned and adjusted. The thing rides sweet.

They are good bikes, my cousin has a $40 yardsale trek 400 i think and it rides great.

My only problem with this one is its to tall for me. riding it you wouldn't believe its a 20 year old bike.

Messed with it for few this morning before work and it seems like the shifters are gummed up, tthey move smooth but won't hold a gear. Hope to get to work on it tonight after work.

If you carefully take the covers off the shifters and squirt some wd-40 in there, it will free up the pawls and they will stay in gear again. Common problem when those shifters are old and haven't been used in a while.

Thanks for the help sprayed them with pb a couple times and then with some spray lube and it hits every gear now.
