(Like almost all of my keepers) I'd originally intended to flip this Trek 660, so I dressed it up in bright yellow, to draw as much attention as possible. It must have worked because I actually sold it in a day or two, but when the buyer later admitted that he needed the money more than the bike , it came back to me.

It was at that point that I decided to keep this zingy red and yellow ride:



And the ride was terrific! - but it was just too flashy for me.

So, I decided to make use of a nice pair of NON-aero levers and hoods that BikemanBob had just gifted to me, and I rewrapped the bars in black Tressostar... I left just a very few yellow accents, so as not to overwhelm, and then, (based on a suggestion from Roger M), I swapped out the deep-V Velocities for a pair of black anodized Mavic MA-40's.

I am very happy with the outcome (though I'm not sure everyone would agree).
