Some lady has a Trek 720 for free that she says has just been sitting for like 5 years down in Santa Cruz that is Kate’s size. She said there is no rust on the frame. Is this worth the drive down? ---

If all else fails I think it would make a rad polo bike for her. ---

the drive from SF to santa cruz is totally worth a free bike. or get a friend who lives near san jose to pick you up from the cal train station there and cut the drive down a bit. ---

The 720 was nice bike. If it is in good shape you should keep it as a touring bike. What year? ---

Depending on the Trek 720, it might be worth it. If it’s one of these, absolutely. ![](http://johndogfood.com/john/reduced%5Cotm-april07%20008.jpg) ![](http://www.vintage-trek.com/images/trek/WayneB720/Trek720.jpg) ![](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1403/1088384972_edae64e4b6_b.jpg) If it’s one of the Trek “Multi-Track” 720s, well then it’s probably still worth it for free, but nothing to cream your jeans over. ---

We drove. It will be Kate’s polo bike. She will probably post pictures of it later. It is the Trek 720 Multitrack and its been left outside for a while. And for all you “take the train people” its was Santa freaking Cruz and it was out in the sticks of Santa Cruz. Totally worth it. ---
