Trek Crockett CX bike

[azrider]

So this is end result from my paint stripping project ( https://forums.thepaceline.net/showt...light=crockett )which took this Pink Trek Crockett (not exactly sure the year) and converted it to brushed aluminum or bare look. The Pink was a great color and I liked it for few years but the appeal wore off and I've always coveted that bare bones look. Gotta say I’m uber pleased with how it turned out. Especially considering that at one point I had thought I had ruined the frame with all the different chemicals I had doused it with.

Still planning on putting TREK logos back on but happy with it for now.

Mix of SRAM 11 speed and currently sporting the worlds worst 700x35 touring tires

Thanks for looking

I have the same frame. I like the pink but really nice job on the paint stripping, looks very pro.

That looks fantastic! I’m glad you saw the project through.

Thanks!! I certainly wasn't opposed to the Pink.....but the desire for a raw frame was far greater and I also enjoy little projects like this

New shoes!!

One thing is certain.....carbon clinchers and gum wall tires can make any bike look good

Finally threw a decal on this thing and I gotta say I’m pretty impressed with how “stock” it looks (if I do say so myself)

It does look sano, but before I sold my Pink Frosting Trek CX I'd not had the bells to for that, the pink was my fav part of it...

That looks great! How did you add the lettering?

Found a bunch of TREK decals on eBay and voila

Looks much better ATMO

Size and name of tire please? Looks like Panaracer but there's a few models.

Look like gravel kings

Honestly, if I still had my Pink Crockett, I'd probably get another one just to do up like that!

I use to have a Six13 with 3 carbon tubes I wanted to stripe, those look like sex on 2 wheels also polished up. But my paint was like perfect, shoulda done it...

Great inspiration for my 1x11 project in the wings - what's the gearing BTW?
