I love that silver, although it’s partly because it reminds me of the early 80’s Treks, with their great Imron paint jobs. Mostly, I am just really loving that bike. I have to stop looking at it, as I currently have no job :( and the pandemic is going to make it harder to get one, so the last

What I am most interested in now is what the colors are going to be (same as the prototypes? or different?) and what the downtube logo will look like. I am hoping for an understated color that isn't too boring - ie classic Riv blue would be great, but I don't like that silver too much. --
