Description

1996 Trek 970 19.5″ Mountain Bike with Classic Shimano XT and Rock Shox 21R that will fit 5’10″—6’1′′.

Industry Description:

The 1996 Trek 970, proudly bearing its “USA-made” designation, represents a significant era in mountain biking, characterized by the robust and compliant ride quality of True Temper OXIII heat-treated Cro-Moly steel. 1 This tubing, known for its strength-to-weight ratio and comfortable feel on varied terrain, was a hallmark of quality mountain bike frames of the time, appealing to riders who valued durability and a forgiving ride over the outright stiffness of early aluminum offerings. The Trek 970, built with this respected steel, often evokes nostalgia among seasoned cyclists and highlights a period when frame material choice significantly influenced the riding experience, a factor still appreciated by enthusiasts seeking a classic feel on the trails
