I can't remember which year, etc., even though I was probably working as the rep for trek in the Southeast at about that time frame.....but that one is a second tier frame as it has the one piece NIKKO head lug (note I didn't says lugs, plural.) Those were a hydra formed one piece thingie.... but there is no head tube at all, just top & down tubes plugged into this big pseudo-lug thing, kinda amazing actually! Some inexpensive Euro bikes have used similar fake lugs but not as nicely executed as these... Another clue to reaffirm this level of Trek-ness (Trekity?) is the lack of a place for rear drop out adjuster screws...
