1983 Trek 520 Restoration
This is my bicycle.
I restored a vintage 1983 Trek 520 touring bicycle, for me to use around Boston and on bike tours.
I purchased the bike on craigslist, but soon after noticed a sizeable amount of rust that required action. So, I took the frame to a local powder-coating specialist, where I was able to pick a new frame color and have the entire frame stripped and refinished. I then reassembled the bike with refurbished vintage components, and took it with me on a bike trip in France. It's now back in Boston, where I use it every week to get between my apartment and campus.
