Until now.

This is the first Trek that didn't bore me.

Are you one for the timeless "stealth" look?

I relly like Trek (got a 2000) and purple is my favourite colour but when I saw that I nearly puked. Come on Lance, go back to blue - sort it out.

.....this is what I've got. It's lovely and I think it looks stunning. Much better than purple thing.

A bike which is predominently black. It's a look that I personally like. 8)

Ah, Yes, I think I am. I have a black Felt F4 with Grammo 50mm carbon wheels. all black for TT's.

This year it'll have a podgy yellow kit sitting on it though.

That hasn't swayed me. Still don't like boring Treks.

In the Great Man's own words - it looks like 'a girl's bike'...

Treks can't hack it, there are many better options for the money.

The bike in question is awful as are pretty much all black bikes, although if you are going for a stealth look than these are much better:

Trek actually have on their site a good customisation tool, which means there is no excuse for buying a rubbish one when you can customise them like this for instance!

Each to their own i suppose, but I have never had a problem with Treks which probably explains why I have a 2006 Madone 5.2. I think it look pretty stealthy.

to me trek = mondeo

Great car/bike but too many on the road, so it loses its wow factor its all a bit safe.
