I noticed the new colors on the Portland right away. It's nice. I like it better than the burnt orange and black.
Looks good with the faux-Brooks honey brown saddle. Just replace it with the real deal.
The Portland looks like a very useable bike. Full fenders would be more useful. I don't like the obsession with minimal spokes on the wheels of so many bikes from Trek and others these days. They seem downright scary on a bike with disc brakes. But I do like the idea of a more practical road bike. I prefer making this kind of bike from an older steel bike, but it's good to see something like this on the market.
