Dad's Trek

Hey, thought it was about time that we had a post about a bike.

When I talked to Dad this weekend, he was excited because his old Trek was finally back from being repaired by Matt Assenmacher and he could start to rebuild it (including the world's most widely traveled Cinelli stem - see old posts for more information). He sent me a couple of pictures of the repaired frame, and actually you cannot even tell broke. The short story is that the frame had cracked at the seat tube/seat stay junction when the caps on the seat stays are brazed to the seat lug. Luckily Dad was able to get his old high school class mate to fix it for him, and the painter did an excellent job matching the original paint.
