Beautiful bike. Is that a repaint or was the bike in a time capsule? One question--You are calling it a 938. Back then, at least in NYC I recall mainly frames/forks being sold so was this the model sold as the 930 frame? I have the touring version (910) in Columbus SP that I bought back then but I only wish the paint on mine looks like yours. I looked up the color of the Dupont Imron and have been thinking about a repaint someday. Len Diamond Ridgewood, New Jersey USA

Hello all,
I've just posted some photographs of a work-in-progress, a 1979 Trek 938. Very nice bike, likely a Tim Isaac design. 60cm, Columbus SL tubes, Campagnolo drop outs. Rear end spaced @ 120, front @ 100.
I still need to get the proper wheelset on it, with early Dura Ace black hubs. Also an appropriate-timeframe seatpost.
Some interesting components include most of a first generation Shimano Dura Ace group in black. Very cool first-gen black D-A headset, black Crane rear derailleur. I plan on adding the remaining black components as time and funds permit. That, plus locating them...
The current wheelset is built from first generation Shimano 600 hubs, DT Swiss spokes, and Sun CR18 rims. Great combination, very solid wheels.
The D-A pedals, 7400 seatpost, Flite saddle, and wheels are so that I can ride it. And it rides very well, really great geometry. Very quick, and feels light, which is very nice.
??
So have a look and enjoy!
