RIDER STYLE Single Tack

The 950 is a bicycle design for aggressive trail riding. The tough Single Track OD Cro-moly frame is complimented with Trek’s exclusive Cruise Control Fork, Matrix Single Track Comp wheel system, and Shimano Deore LX components. This combination has the strength to charge the trails and also offers considerable comfort so the frame absorbs the pounding and not your body. The 950 will constantly provide you with the performance that makes it such a good off-road value.

Solid and dependable

Had this bike for 23 years and used it mostly for getting around Boston but now live on Cape Cod and have been using it off road. This bike has never let me down - I have a Masi road bike which sits in the garage as I like the trek better. I rode it home from the bike store in a snow storm and have loved it ever since.

Exceptionally strong, durable, almost maintenance free. Light weight, despite the steel frame. Extremely easy to handle, yet precise and effective. Greatest thing I could not find in other MTBs, it's how came so natural to adapt to this trek 950 from first time I rode it. Nice look, mine is electric blue.

No suspension, no disc brake, no ultra light weight... simply because there were no such things for MTBs in 1989.

Great handling, I am using it since 1989, till now 2016 I am 44. I have been everywhere, city and mountain, fell down many times also but it never had a single problem, right now still working perfectly after 27 years. I can do quite well with MTB but I am not certainly a pro, however with this girl it was love at first ride and I never wished to change her for suspension, disc brake, carbon frame etcetera. I am Italian and live in Italy, but I love America and this is great stuff made in US, paid it 980.000 Italian lira in 1989 when I was in the high school, best buy I have ever made.

All around solid performer, Good handling, Tough as nails, Never lets you down. If you only own one bike, this is the one bike to own! It can last you a lifetime of riding with only basic maintenance.

I'm a big guy (6'4"_225) and I like to ride year round in all kinds of weather, and I love to ride up and down stairs in the city as well as hitting the trails on the weekends. And this bike has been a Solid Performer for the past 20 years of City Commuting, 75% of Pre-Event Training Rides, Afternoon Joy Rides, the occasional Long Weekend Tour, and even one Century. Over the life of this bike I have had other bikes as well (2-Road Bikes, 1-Hybrid, 1-Beach Cruiser, 2-Fold-Up Commuters, and 2 Other Mountain Bikes with Suspension). Some of them costing quite a bit more than my 1993 Trek 950 Single-track ridged! But no other bike has ever surpassed it. It has remained my go to bike for 85% of my rides. I have used other bikes for specific things like fast Triathlons, Tough Downhills, Sketchy Area Lock Ups, and Trunk Packable needs, but the 950 is my best all around bike by far... I would consider trading in every other bike I've had on a newer model, but not my Trek 950!

Indestructible, stiff, great climber, great commuter, super handling

no suspension

Old Faithful. Handled mud, snow, rocks, curbs, stairs, really steep descents, potholes, logs, sand and never lets me down. Climbed hills on it so steep I puked at the top. I started riding it in 1989 on Mt. Tam trails in Marin (back in the pre-suspension days) and now commute daily on it in the rough streets of DC. Rode it in DC area on fire roads and single tracks before all the trails were shut down to bikes. I'll give to one my sons in about 20 years. Like the others say, buy it if you can find one.

Similar Products Used:

never really road anything else

Rugged frame. Adapatable.

Slightly heavy than some...but who cares...

The bike is responsive and quicker. Impressed with ease of shifting and turning. For mountain country here the triple crank is a good choice especially if loaded with gear. Needed the rear center pull for mounting rack. Painted it bright cherry red (PPG bright color line.) Decals and clearcoat make it a very sharp looking rig that can take some abuse but lighter for quick response.

Great bike. Solid.

Still riding

Frame strength - after 17 years it's still rock solid.

fantastic bike - a true classic. Despite having a FS bike for the trails - this one still sits in the garage for city work (long road cruises & grocery runs).

Love this old girl she takes a beating and likes to be ridden hard and as fast as my legs can move the crank. Has lasted me years with only the need to change tires and seat. Keep it oiled and clean it up and they will last.

None I found. Would be nice with disk breaks yet I can live with out.

I will never give her up and I am satisfied without buying a new one any time soon. I have had this bike since 1998 and I love every bit of the bikesability and trust it to work every time. I just got her a gold star full service complete take down and rebuild.

BMX Racers, Huffy, some old german bikes and an old road racer.

I have never had any problems with welds or any other rpart of the bike

I have been riding my 950 for as long as I remember. I use to take it to the World Cup Downhills at Mount Snow, Vermont. Riders would often comment on the vintage ridged frame and give kudos on it. I have always used it for single track. Yet had no fears running it down a mountain side trail.

bombproof frame and components; durability; reliability

heavy; lack of front shocks

my first real mountain bike (bought in 1994). If only they still sold something of this quality instead of the disposable crap on the market today

History and Iconic Models

Trek started out in 1975 by providing only frames. In 1976 they would supply entire bicycles.

For many people Trek is most famous for sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team during the late 90’s up to his retirement.

Trek 5000 1989

But Trek already pioneered the use of carbon fiber in 1989 with the Trek 5000.

Trek Y Foil 1998

It would result in the short-lived but daring design of the Y-Foil, introduced in 1998. One of the few bikes that is designated with something more than just a number.

Trek 850 1983

They were also early adopters of the mountain bike craze, with the Trek 850 launched in 1983.

Trek Y22 1995

Their early foray in using carbon fiber would be later used with the introduction of the iconic Y33 and Y22 models. Mountain bikes with a monocoque carbon fiber frame. Although it used the suspension technique URT ( unified rear triangle ) which would turn out to be rubbish, the original design was considered iconic.

1990 Trek 950 Singletrack Restoration (2021 Update)

Six years ago, I started a project to restore, more like resto-mod, a Trek 950 that I found on Craigslist for $125. You can read more about the original build here .

My initial intent was not to do mostly short rides. However, I loved it so much, I started wondering about making the bike more capable and more modern while keeping the original good looks.

1991 trek 950

Upgrades I Made to the Trek 950 this Year

The updates that I made really changed the riding position of this bike. 4 inch rise on the handlebars, shorter stem, new saddle, new drive train. Prior to making these changes, it would be hard for me to ride past 2 hours on this bike. Now, it feels a bit more like an aggressive beach cruiser which is really fun and I like it!

The best rides are to the coffee shop!

1991 trek 950

(There are affiliate links below. These are products that I’m actually using. )

New Saddle. Brooks B17 Saddle . I always wanted to try this one. So far I like it. I’ll have to do a full review in the future.

Mone Meal Replacement Bars. Learn more here. These are sick. You gotta read the description on Mone site if you get a chance. This guy works magic and I love that they are hand made.

Sram 1x drivetrain

  • Truvativ Bottom Bracket . This is a small upgrade over the square taper bottom bracket that I had installed in my first work on this bike. But allows for an affordable 1x crankset via SRAM.
  • SRAM crankset – 32t . I love this option and have the same one on my Surly Karate Monkey.
  • 9 Speed Chain . Always feels good to put a new chain on.

Shorter Stem. Wake 50MM

New Grips: Raceface Grips. These are surprisingly comfortable and feel amazing when riding.

Bikepacking Test Ride

After all this, I was able to get out for a super fun event where you bring nothing but a bike + $40 and plan for a Bikepacking night. We all rolled into Walmart at 9PM, loaded up on cheap blankets and hit a local campground. It was super fun. Knocked out 50 miles locally in a short/long day.

Bike Lights I’m using currently:

NightRider 1800 . This bike light has three settings and the lowest is sufficient for riding slowly on trails. The brightest is a luxury for shorter trips and on roads.

NightRider Cherrybomb 35 Taillight . This like is also so bright that when people ask not to ride behind me because it can hurt their eyes. Usually, I’m happy to ride in the back and make sure everyone is seen.

1991 trek 950

What’s missing from this Trek 950 Restoration?

Trek 950 original wheel set is holding me back from the future!

The original rear wheel is only built for a 7 speed cassette. I actually have 9 speed cassette modified into an 8 speed and this works with my 9 speed friction shifter from Microshift.

Riding up steel hill, there’s just not enough range with the 1x drivetrain. The next move will be to upgrade to a new rear wheel / hub and get a full 9 speed cassette on there.

I’ve looked into options with the standard Shimano/SRAM or potentially Box Prime 9. With the wheels being 26 inches, I probably don’t need a 50t cassette. 42 would probably be sufficient. I’m going to think on this, I’ll post an update when I make the move.

Potentially going up to a 34 in the front and putting a wider range in the back would be ideal and cover all the riding.

I’m currently on 2.0 inch tires. Going slightly wider would be fun, but there’s not a ton of room.

I’ve also considered converting to disc brakes. There’s pros and cons to that as well.

More Info: I really wanted to not only make this bike a "do it all", comfortable to ride bomber, but also expand my home mechanic skills. So I rebuilt or replaced everything possible on this bike whether it needed it or not. Once the frame was stripped, I sealed all tube openings with FlexSeal tape and filled the inside of the tubes to soak overnight with EvapoRust, and then FluidFilm treatment. I swapped the headset with DIY hardware store fittings instead of expensive pressing tools, replaced the loose ball bottom bracket with a sealed unit, and rebuilt the hubs on the craigslist wheels. Had a lot of fun with this project and now it's my main commuter bike.

Very nice build! Can you comment on converting a triple crank arm to a compact-style crank setup? Considering doing this for one of my bikes.

Posted almost 2 years ago

fdrowell says:

Sure - you'll just need single speed chainring bolts since the original bolts will bottom out without the thickness of the third ring. Dial in the front derailleur limit screw so you don't push your chain off and you're good to go! Nothing wrong with a triple but when I don't need the extra high gearing I prefer 2x as it just feels neater and simpler.

1991 Trek 950 + 700c wheels?

SpinWheelz

  • Add to quote

My 1991 Trek 950 has what look like fender mounts on the frame and fork. There's a mounting hole at the crown of the fork and another one in the seatstay bridge. That got me thinking - can I squeeze 700c wheels in this frame and fork and use the fender mounting holes to slap on some road brakes? Right now, I'm using 26" wheels with 2.3 tires with plenty of room to go. I know that without pictures it's difficult to judge, but what do you guys think? Theoretically possible or not? Oh, and the idea is to use skinny road tires with these 700c wheels, not some fat 29er tire.

Right now, I'm using 26" wheels with 2.3 tires with plenty of room to go. I know that without pictures it's difficult to judge, but what do you guys think? Theoretically possible or not? Oh, and the idea is to use skinny road tires with these 700c wheels, not some fat 29er tire. Click to expand...

I just measured my road bike and its 363mm from center of axel to the brake mounting hole  

Brilliant, I'll see how that measurement stacks up with the rear end of my bike. Quite a few variables to consider, I guess. Height of the tires, the reach of the road brakes, the width of a road rim...

Long Reach Are For Older Frames Early 80's and prior. The arms are longer as the wheels were located further from the frame thatn they are today. You will probably need long reach brakes for your project. I'm sure they are decent, probably just heavy.

Slicks Some even skinnier slicks are 1x26 Continental Grand Prix's. I picked up a set a few weeks back and they're pretty smooth ($40 each though). Just a thought.  

I've got some 26 x 1.5 Conti touring tires on my old mt bike. They are a semi slick with inverted tread. Very fast tire, and durable. I bought 'em to do a century ride during a period when I didn't have a road bike  

That's some good advice there about the impact to the bottom bracket height. At the moment, I run the bike with Kenda K-Rad 2.3 tires that are nice, round and squishy. Not particularly fast, but they do provide a comfortable ride. I was curious to see what kind of speed advantage I might get out of going to larger 700c tires, hence this experiment.

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.
