Bike Stolen - Please Help!

Hey all,I recently had my 1986 Trek 310 Elance stolen.  It wasnt anything special, but i loved it.  I've been monitoring craigslist/ebay as a last-ditch effort. A SIMILAR 310 can been seen at this link:  http://velospace.org/files/310Elance1.jpgmy frame was identical to this, however my bike had black  Specialized Aero drops and a neon blue/gray Trek seat.  It sticks out like a sore thumb.If anyone comes across this somehow or notices…See More

"love that VO stuff, have had good experiences with them most Shimano bar-ends have encountered can be "flipped" from indexed to friction, believe this may still be the case with newer ones, so if you're not wedded to indexing, that…"

WTB: Bar End Shifters and Advice

Hey all,I'm trying to find some bar end shifters for my bike. Mid- 80's trek, will be replacing the downtube shifters. I have a 6 speed rear, so i dont think i can get away with buying new bar ends since they are all made for indexed 8/9/10 speeds. If anyone has a set of friction shifters, or can tell me if there is a way to apply indexed shifters to my bike (without reconfiguring my entire rear end) i'd love to hear about it!ThanksGSee More

That Trek should be pretty sweet, nice find.

Couldn't tell you the exact weight of the red one, but it is the lightest bike I have owned. Came with steel bars and lame cranks though, so it can be lighter with a few upgrades. Seems like with Lotus the frames are light but the component levels vary quite a bit.
