Richard Burke, who built his first Trek 30 years ago, died last night.

Here's an interesting article about his accomplishments.

thanks, that was a great article. I had a Trek and I loved it. It was the first bike of my own that I had in 25 years. (or more)


It sounds like his family is dedicated to making these bikes (even though we don't make them in the USA anymore)

All of the OCLV carbon bikes are still made in Waterloo, WI.
