I have a a ~1990 Trek 1100 and the one thing I hate about it is the
bottem end (where the bottom bracket goes). I'm not a big guy (5'8",
180lbs) but I can twist the bottom bracket so the chaing scrapes the
derailleur when I stand or pedal real hard. I now have a low end Ti
bike and I love it (Mongoose RX100). I can't twist that bike.

Oh, I rode the 1100 for about 35K miles, I still have it but I put
most of my miles on the RX100.
