Factory Tour: Trek Bicycle Company’s Waterloo Headquarters, Part 1

A proper ‘because we can’ bike from the factory workshop.

* looks around, nope, nope I can’t see the point of it the wheels are too small *

That looks great 8)

That’s the kicker I need to order my Gates kit 8)

And I’ve fallen in love with a Trek. Didn’t see that one coming.

THAT i like! 😀

It’s like a Galaxian cabinet turned into a bike. Serif font on the forks too…very Brunelian!

It’s a nod to the original Paul Turner vintage RS1 forks.

I was trying to work out what that prong on the RS1’s arch was when I came across this:

1991 Fisher RS-1 FS

Blimey. Wonder what it steered like?

They steered OK – sort of.

You had one?! Kudos.

I mean look at the features…it’s like it dropped out of a wormhole from 2002. It’s all in there. And the shape…it looks so modern.

the “prong” on that fork above is just the cable stop for the cantis.
