Perks.

So, at Trek, I basically inherited all of Chris Jivoin's stuff.

He was a designer at Trek who moved to Boston for a girl

and is dearly missed by everyone. I am using his desk and

most of his miscellaneous things like lockers and filing

cabinets he used during his tenure in the Studio.

I was cleaning out his locker/cabinet thing in the studio

and amongst all the prototype aero bars and one-off SLA

forks, there was this black carbon mountain bike frame.

It has a sticker on the head-tube that is shaped like the

Pabst Blue Ribbon logo but is completely blank and has

no other discernible markings on it. I showed it to everyone

and the unanimous response was "Welcome to Trek, that's

yours now". I guess it was an early carbon mock-up frame

for a design that never made it to market? It does not have

any of Trek's serial numbers on it.

Anyway, I just thought I would let everyone know that my

job renders me free carbon fiber things and that makes it

better than your job.
