2-19-07: I think all the details are now in place.

1-30-07: It all started as a cheap, whatever-I-had-in-the-garage, coaster
project. I had the teal green frame -- which I thought had some nice
lines --, red wheels, and some goofy white fenders (they came with the
bike). I don't know why, but the whole Italian theme was still not
apparent yet (duh). Xmas maybe. It wasn't until I scored the stock red
blackburn rack at CityBikes, Portland, that the Tre Colori theme became
an obsession. My next addition is to build up an another red rear wheel
using a Phil Wood fixie hub I have laying around. Oh, and now my wife
needs a bike...

Forza Italia!

Submitted by JonD on 03/18/2008.

One of those red aluminum Sigg water bottles would complement the look of the entire bike. The metallic color goes better than the nike plastic bottle.

That is a really nicely put together bike! The fenders/seat/tape in white, plus the trek logo in white, make for great accents.

You nailed it.

Detail

Submitted by reallyjustjason on 01/06/2008.

I love all the detail you put into this bike. Normally i prefer a clean look, like brakeless and so on, but this manages to still look very clean and aesthetically pleasing.

510

Submitted by singletooth on 12/05/2007.

Nice ride, I've got an 82 510 myself that I use for my winter ride. Have any idea were those fenders came from or what off of?

fenders

Submitted by tclar4 on 12/10/2007.

Thanks.

Not sure. Unfortunately they are busted now. One of the brackets sheared off. I will certainly have to do some retrofitting. T

Beautifully Executed

Submitted by thickbikes on 05/09/2007.

My favorite detail is the rear (derailleur) reflector mount. Brilliant! Mind if I copy that on my in-the-works fixie conversion? Thanks,
Chris

No problem...

Submitted by tclar4 on 05/10/2007.

since I owe the idea to a friend of mine here at work. He kept saying "what if you did this, or that." And I said "um, okay." Thanks. T

very nice

Submitted by Machu Picchu on 02/15/2007.

I like it. All of it. Fenders struck me more as cool than goofy.

I'm visiting Portland in two weeks. Maybe I'll see it on the street, too.

Portland: Yes

Submitted by Machu Picchu on 03/12/2007.

I did enjoy Portland. Lots. Everyone should go there and take note. Bicycles and fixed gears (specifically) everywhere. Even in the rain. I get the fender thing, now. Real people who have the time to talk to strangers. In a city. I'm not kidding. Thanks.

Submitted by SkidMark on 01/30/2007.

Red and Green. Also the flag of Mexico and Italy. Looks great, can't wait to see it on the street.
