Building Trek Remedy from ashes :) - fotostory

Hi all again,

this time I wan't to share with you what I've made from not o beautiful Trek Remedy Frame and little forgotten Haro bike.

So I'v bought both of this item on Oslo police bicycle auction and decide to make one beautiful bike.

And here the story starts....

What happened to the Remedy frame? A fire?

Everybody ask for that. I really dont know. Definitely no fire. Just, lot of different paint without any particular scheme

When I start disassembly I realised that lot of original Trek screws and bolt are missing. So I've order them at Trek dealer for 1700NOK!

See what I got.

Now is nice part. Old paint was chemically removed, then it was sanded and finally, new powder coating did the job.

Frame looks like new. Generally frame looked ugly but was in perfect shape, so with new color looks like new.

Please find picture one above another to find any difference

Neat.

nice job!

So now is time for some decals. As I'm patient and I like precise work I did some ploter job in old style way.

Nice

And ready bike:

Always fun to see your projects, great rise from the ashes The fork, is that from the Haro bike?

Thanks Mogens,

yes fork is from Haro. Black color fits Trek better

looks good, but a little lightweigt wheels and tires for a Remedy? at least if it is going to be used on the trails...

Yep,

U R right. At the beginning I planned that bike for my son, but finally this bike is to big. I agree that for aggressive ride in the forest or some tricky trails those wheels are to fragile. Anyway Haro Escape setup was quite good quality and in perfect shape. I think for average use will be great.

Anyway after lot of effort I need to sell it. But I enjoy a lot recovering such nice bike from little bad shape and hope it will give a lot of joy for next rider again
