important trek question
Am I losing my mind? A year ago I saw a trek that was white with lime
green letters that said "antelope 800" on upper horizontal bar between the gooseneck and the seatpost. Am I mistaken? Is there a such thing as an antelope 800? Does anyone know where I can find the history of the "antelope" trek model? Please help im going crazy over this.. Thank you for your time. -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

Yes, the Trek 800-series bikes are called "Antelope", and always have been, AFAIK. They are the lowest-end Treks; about one step up from the better department store bikes like the Pacific-made Schwinns. Pretty decent bikes, and for most ordinary uses, should last a long time. I've never seen any history of the Antelope series - probably never will. I'm guessing that the bike you saw was made in the early 1990's, based upon the color scheme. Just a guess. What is it that you want to know about the Antelope series? Rocketman http://tinyurl.com/38rnb -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

important trek question
Your information is correct. My very first bike was a Trek 810
"Antelope", bought in 1987, to try mountain biking for the first time. Altho the bike was a very nice ride, I soon realized I needed something more rugged, and stepped up to a Trek 990. I sold my 810 to a friend who used it for hybrid riding, some street, some trail. In article T2YNb.80881$I06.344966@attbi_s01, Rocketman wrote: "James Carr" wrote in message om...
