Trek 1.9

I can't decide if this bike looks nice or not http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/road/1_series/19e/

The specs seem good and the B Radar review was quite positive but cannot make my mind up if the colour is cool or garish.

NWL,

To me it looks cool - certainly much better than the lime green 1.7

I think it looks pretty awesome actually. Get a different set of wheels on there and replace them with something more bling!

I like it, think it looks very 'now', and don't think it'll age badly.

I bought this....

...and 2 months later they changed the colour to this...

I was gutted at first, but I really like my stealth bike. It's not painted, just laquer over the bare carbon.

Oh wow - another 'what bike' thread from NWL...

Not to my taste, but that doesn't really matter. It's what you think of it that counts.

Surely if you're looking at a £1,150 bike, you can stretch to that Roubaix? There must be some 08 model bargains to be had?

You wont go far wrong with a Madone

Colours personal choice, I think its allright - seen worse !!

Lagavulin

I quite like it. Should look 8) with those Dura-Ace hoops you were considering.

£1530 plus immediate wheel upgrade is not an option. Believe me i have tried

Well £968 once i take into account 10% discount.

Yes many 08 bargains but NOT available in my size
