Obviously, there's been a big influx of these 1987 WTB/Trek Team bikes lately so ECS asked to start a thread and with CCMDoc to ShawnW.'s October 1987 Mountain Bike Action magazine, I've scanned some photos of them so we can all build identical bikes! Those that have them or have information regarding them, post them up.

Mine is not ready for prime time. Still need to sort brakes, the front derailleur mount, and add a stubby to my fork but otherwise, I should have the other parts. I'll add a picture when done...in about a million years from now in Bike Completion Time.

If there's a trek to have, these are it

I wanna see a line up of these and all the dropbar jellybeans together

What everybody's making counterfeits?

That'd be cool. Definitely can be done...someday.

What everybody's making counterfeits?

Something like that.

VRC has gone all Trek on us?

Sigh...

This is like bringing Hot Dogs to a BBQ competition.

Slather it with sauce but it's still a Hot Dog.

Ductape just won the Internet

All you need is an Al Trek frame...and Speedmasters, a Potts stem. Oh and a Type 2 fork. No problem. Throw in a Cunningham post and some WTB hubs and you have a cheap replica.

 

[Fillet-brazed]

Can Shawn and I start a thread for the genuine articles? And then have this as the replica thread? haha.

Jealousy...so ugly....

Now I want one of those Treks AND a hot dog!

Hey Doc, thanks again for the magazine, and GOB thanks for posting. Now, give it back

 

[CCMDoc]

Good karma to good folk.

I was perusing all the articles...lots of JT! Must be why CCMDoc had it...or maybe it's for the hot dogs.

Where did this replica notion come in?

Shawn's bike was not built for a WTB Trek team member.

FB, I don't know the story on yours other than it was used when you got it. Whose bike was it originally?

whaaaaaatt?!?!?!?

Their were less than 20 of these made, and they were all called WTB Treks. They were custom built 1 at a time. They either went to a "Team Member" or a "Customer". It's as simple as that.

 

[DoubleCentury]

Customer bikes. There you go.

 

[eastcoaststeve]

G, thanks for the scan...bikes with toe clips on the cover, yay.


As far as the Trek frames go, and assuming even the "Team" bikes had factory serial numbers, I'd be curious to see if there's any logic to them.
My plain old red frame is 293522, and the white/blue one is 290709...anyone else care to share?

You got a replica too?

Do all the frames have press-fit BB's?

 

[hollister]

So..

Who's was it?
