I like it. It's a little over the top with all of the red, and then someone dipped the top in black with the seat post, saddle and stem all black. I'd probably tone it down a bit. The frame has enough pop and color that the bars and tires don't really need the red. Overall, I like the bike, not sure if I'd rank it a hot, though. I don't care for the sloping top and Trek isn't ever a beautiful frame, imo. But a great bike nonetheless.
