1988 rektek TITANIUM

[Retro_Roy]

I picked up this project frame at our swap meet this past sunday. Couldn't pass it up. It appears to be a very early one.
Has had a hard life. Was raced and crashed, damaged and a crappy repair done. But has since been built
and ridden without issues. Has u brake bosses (my favorite) and what appears to be a 1" headtube. Up till now I
think I have only seen 1 1/8". Let me know if you have seen otherwise. Here are some before pictures as acquired.
No idea when I will be back to this thread with updates. This is way down on project list. Tell me what you think.

The decals are quite unique on it.

That sure has some battle scars. Pretty cool.

Wonder what happened to produce that kind of repair.

Your Rektek is made by Maurice Lavoie I think.
Dropout and wishbown looks like Lavoie.
What’s the serial number exactly please ?

You may be correct. Serial looks identical to this Lavoie:

I had a similar thought initially as well. but the rektek's serial number is TNT where as
Lavoie numbers start TTN. Styling and format is certainly very similar.
