2012 Trek Wasabi
Picked up this bike for my wife from an ad on Facebook Marketplace. It was probably a little over priced at $130 but I think it will clean up and make a nice casual low-mileage cruiser. I'm going to repaint the fenders, polish and touch up the frame and replace some rusted bolts with stainless.. It
ll also need new pedals and hand grips, new tires and a lube job on the bearings. We took it out for a short ride today and she loved it.
From Marketplace ad
Fenders off. I like it like this but she wants fenders.
Love the name.

Worth a million (metaphorically) if your wife loves it, and well worth $130. I'd hate to tell you how much I spent in $ and time to construct a bike my wife didn't like.

That's cool Mr. Pickem. My wife's Trek Wasabi, as of this week, has new tires/tubes and painted fenders (masked off and clear coated the graphics). All the rusted nuts, bolts and wahers I replaced with stainless. It appears this bike was truly a beach cruiser. Salt had eaten anything not aluminum or stainless. 😎
