This Trek was leaning against a team vehicle in Oceanside, CA. The owner was a crew member for a local based team in this year's RAAM. He said that he'd been working on it for about four years.

Unfortunately, I don't have any specifics to give you. I just told him that he'd done a beautiful job and let him get back to his crewing duties. This image is fairly acurate, but the blue, I can't really describe it, but to say that it was maybe slightly lighter and definately brighter. It was really something special.

Thanks,

I recall seeing a vintage trek site with loads more like this, but can't recall the link. Good photo.

usually blue/yellow doesnt go that well together, but that is really nice.

Reminds me of the Charger's powder blue jersey's with the yellow bolts.

The owner told me that the bike is now a different color than the original paint. He didn't say who painted it and didn't mention the logos (IDK paint or decal???), sorry.

Now that's a Trek I could see myself on.

The colors remind me of Astana's team kit.

Yep....my '82 750 has the same decals.

That is one stunning looking bike.
