Trek antelope 800 step thru vintage Atb friction bike 26” wheel

Fun build! The lowly “ladies” bike: Most shops harvest parts and make wind chimes out of the frames. Not here! A step thru frame is ideal for urban all around riding and commuting. It’s a compact fit with an Upright riding posture. It has easy entry, safety and stability when laden with cargo. 26” wheels are now hopelessly relegated to the pile of Legacy components. Cheap to maintain, easy to find. We rebuilt this with new rubber and vintage parts. 7 speed friction only thumbie shifters with a stem mounted double bail out gear. Modern v brakes work better than the defective shimano Altus canti brakes that so many bikes of this era had. 26” Schwalbe tires that are more knobby than gravel but you’ll appreciate that when rolling out to your secret picnic spot. 18” frame. Fits most people. Including menfolk and other gender spectrum people.
