1988 rektek TITANIUM

[Retro_Roy]

my good buddy woodsie has the ear of maurice lavoie. he contacted maurice today and showed him these pictures.
maurice responded with a `yes that is one that i built. that would have been 1988.' woodsie is doing more digging.
hopefully find out a little bit more about this frame and possibly some additional lavoie info. stay tuned.

i have put some time into this one recently. who knows it might get done soon. renewed interest from the additional info.

Lots of Lavoie info in this thread:

1990 Lavoie Titanium made by Maurice Lavoie

So confession time, I often lurk on here to absorb knowledge about bikes I'm building and don't contribute much. Most of my posts are image led and without my desktop computer and photoshop I can't share photos on this site. Adding photos here is a pain and they're so small that you can't see...

recent developments on the origin for this one sparked renewed interest.

weather was pretty crappy here yesterday. so had a beers and bikes session with vintageman.

this is the results. i am pretty darn happy with it. i don't think much will change on it. but you
never know, it is a bit of a parts bin build. meaning eventually a part upgrade or new option
might happen. with a little luck i will take this on out our weekly thursday ride. fingers crossed
there are no problems.

I like it, rollercam is a nice touch.

Looks great Roy, I think the parts bin build really works, look forward to seeing it in person Thursday

I see a future BOTM

That bike looks awesome and screams "ride me hard!!!"
BOTM for sure!

What a great find and build. Loving the patina/scars/history on this one. Nice choice of components too. Looks like it’ll be one sweet ride. Do you normally run your front tyres in reverse?

Thats a pretty sassy build!!!

had this out for maiden voyage last night.
it performed as it should. was a comfortable ride position.

if the tire is on wrong it was probably because i put both decals
visible from the drive side. thanks for letting me know.
