-One of the things I loved about this Trek frame was that the rear brake cable was routed within the top tube. The cable entered the top tube aft of the head tube and exited just before the seat tube.
Next week, I'll show you my backup road bike that I used to complete my MS 150 ride.
Lovely 1500. :-)

I have a 1988 1000 with Shimano 600 group and it is one of my favorite bikes. I also prefer the inteal cable routing. Trek makes excellent bikes and the quality of the USA models was outstanding.
