Yes, A 1976 BURKE-Bevil Hogg 'TREK' Quoting the NYT Burke Obit: "With his friend Bevil Hogg, Mr. Burke started the Trek company in 1976, in a barn in Waterloo, Wis" "That first year in the barn, the Trek company produced 805 handmade, finely detailed road bikes and earned $161,000." |

IIRC, not until later in 1977. My local welding house told me in 1976 that somebody had ordered a 20 tank oxygen manifold to make bicycle frames locally. Didn't find out more for a year or so. Trek's previous entity was one block away from us so we were surely not 'in the loop'. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

"Trek's previous entity was one block away from us so we were surely
not 'in the loop'." when did Trek weld? 3AM ? Did Trek use a front lika bakery? I went to get an Evil Hog bio and found a shut down virus. I did get the idea he snot the welder. Well. failing a cost analysis for those beatiful handmade bicycles, do the frame have merit? can the frames be seen in daylight? anyone been over to Waterloo ? is here a fence? dogs? roadblock... |

Early (pre-1980) treks show up on ebay quite commonly. I believe that
for the first 2-3 years, they were sold as either standalone framesets, or full-custom bicycles which could be ordered with parts to suit the customer (like schwinn paramounts, but without fixed prices I believe ...) In my opinion, early (pre-1985) TREK bikes have very nice brazing but very dull and uninspiring graphics. A NOS frame from that era in 531 tubing I imagine would sell on ebay in the $300-$500 range, depending upon the tubing (lightweight or loaded touring?) and the extras (e.g. campy headset). http://www.sheldonbrown.com/vrbn-o-z.html#trek Many 501 and 531 frames (and sometimes entire bikes) sell in the $100-$200 range, so this is definitely a premium over the typical early TREK bike. - Don Gillies San Diego, CA, USA |

That's "Bevil Hogg." No, he was not a welder. He was a bike shop owner with an Idea. IIRC Mike Appel was the first brazer hired by Trek. Dick Nolan was the machinist who made most of the original fixtues. I still have a number of the original Trek frame jigs here. Well. failing a cost analysis for those beatiful handmade bicycles, do the frame have merit? can the frames be seen in daylight? Sure, they have value but I'm not certain there are a lot of 1970s production Treks still on the road. -- John ) John, I don't mean to pry but why: "I still have a number of the original Trek frame jigs here. " ? "I'm not certain there are a lot of 1970s production Treks still on the road" with what were the ID's painted? how would you describe a 76 Trek's feel with a modern wheelset and tires? |

John,
with what were the ID's painted? I'm not sure I understand this question. unpainted frames rust out but lack of care...was meant as funny. Was the idea behind Burke and Hogg's endeavor profit from the established overpriced Euro/Campy levels? Who designed frames? Nolan? did Nolan ride ? |
