I got the Trek back from Oswald today. The new powder coat turned out really nice.
It looks red in the shade – Click for big
It looks orange in the sunshine – Click for big
So far, I’ve only taken it around the block to make sure nothing fell off. Tomorrow, I’m off to the big city to ride with the Large Fella. I should have some more pix up in the next day or two.
Wow. Looks really good. What size tires are those? The whole bike looks really comfortable.
The bike really turned out way better than I ever imagined. The tires are 700×37 Paselas. It is a very comfortable ride, especially with the wider tires. I took it on a 20 miler yesterday, and she floats over the broken pavement like a hovercraft.
I really couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.
I imagine your LHT will be the same story. The 520 has very similar geometry.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the finished product ever since you blogged about dropping it off at Oswald’s. Lookin’ good!
