It was quite mint when I bought it. There are a few nicks here and there, and some areas of paint I'd like to touch up. This paint Trek used is a super thick paint that almost feels soft to the touch, like it has some polymer or vinyl mixed in (like a "poly coat"). It's a little odd, but it has a great hue to it.
