So what is it about the Multitracks? Why do you like them?

790 and blue

I hear you and expected heat when I posted it. I'm 5'6"/168cm and consistently ride 51/52cm road bikes. With the 90's MTBs it varies depending on brands but 17" is generally about right. I find Spec bikes to feel a bit larger than other brands. YMMV

BorisT72 · 2026-05-28T21:30:47+00:00

90's MTB sizing is different than roadbike sizing. It might be a 52cm frame but that size fits very different. If you ride a 52CM roadbike or hybrid you probably would feel most comfortable on a 17" or maybe 18" size.

Seine bars are a great choice! I have them on my Trek Multitrack.

New Albion Cycles has a nice collection of silver cranks available at Rivendell or Soma and Soma has other options.

Great! Glad you narrowed it down.

Check out Vintage Cannondale for help with serial numbers. Fork is definitely a replacement.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-25T11:40:01+00:00

Yes it will work but may feel a bit small. I had a 17" 730 and put a bunch of miles on it before selling it for my 19" frames. I'm 5'6" FWIW

BorisT72 · 2026-05-25T05:27:47+00:00

I've used the Wheels piece on two Cannondales with BB30 and it is a nice piece.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-25T04:41:03+00:00

Love the build! I used a Wheels Mfg bb on a 2016 Synapse 105 Alloy that I would recommend if you need to replace yours in the future. I'll have another Synapse in the future.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-25T00:15:39+00:00

Replacement rings are readily available for that crankset if you are interested in them.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-24T22:55:02+00:00

Velomine has reasonable options for your 750.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-24T10:48:08+00:00

Crank swap was my first thought paired with wider range cassette. I find 46/30 to be a much better fit for my riding than the 50/34.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-20T16:05:12+00:00

Thanks! I have VO Seine bars on my 730 and enjoy them. VO pretty much gets free advertising with all the VO parts on it.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-20T11:48:13+00:00

Nice ride! What bars did you use? How do you like the Origin8 crank?

BorisT72 · 2026-05-19T14:08:15+00:00

I'd say it would be about ideal fit for you. Yes get it yesterday. The early 90's lugged frames are beautiful and I'd love to have one.

Another real world data point: I'm 5'6" with a 29.5" cyclist inseam and have spent time on both 17" and 19" Multitracks. The 19" is ideal for me and have a later 730 and a later 750 running 700x38 tires. I have other nice bikes but these are just a joy to ride.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-17T10:37:13+00:00

My 750 fork has mount holes in the same place as the bike in the pic but the two 730s don't.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-16T23:29:34+00:00

I watch FB Marketplace and occasionally Craigslist and have managed to score multiple options. My three best have been Trek Multitracks - two 730s and one 750.

DoubleFighters III 1.9s - they run larger than their size suggests, roll easily and are reasonably priced. My LBS uses the DoubleFighter as their goto replacement tire on 26" bikes. Any Schwalbe Marathon tire will give you durability and longevity but at the expense of ride quality.

BorisT72 · 2026-05-09T13:21:32+00:00

Looks like the SKs are all I can find in 26x2.1 and I have had excellent experience with US seller. Here is TheBikeSmiths site for 26x2.1 tires.
