Being from Duluth Minnesota meant that I had to travel 150 miles
to race on the weekends. In 1979 Team Tremco was born and
had the hot Minnesota riders racing on Robinson frame and forks
supporting the Green and white colors. Their presence on
and off the track was known, even by this shy kid from up North.
1981 that turned into Team Rondo racing on Hutch frame & forks
with Jack Doherty handling the promotions of the team.
By late 1982 Jack started Tahoe since he liked the name of Chevy
Tahoe trucks. The combination of the Robinson/Hutch frame
& forks became the Tahoe. The tubular brace distinguished
the Tahoe from the rest and the blue, white, and green color
combination. The fork was as close as a Robinson that you
could get as the frame & forks were made by TrackMaster.
By 1984 Jack decided to head to Phoenix and sold the company to
the Taylor's from Indiana. They continued to make the
Tahoe's but included a mini and newly designed 24" cruiser
frame. These are distinguished by a hole in the rear
dropouts vs. the solid Minnesota ones.
Relive the Tahoe years with a Tahoe T-shirt as seen below by my
wife and I!! Just
