That down tube hurts to just look at it. It screams hungry graphic design gig worker.

I like red/white together. But, I wouldn't buy that bike because that, whatever that is, is over the top awful.

It's like the ever growing hood ornaments and insignia on cars nowadays. It used to be that a brand had an image, a style, some identifying feature that set it apart. Think the shape of a Coke bottle or Jeeps 7 vertical bars on the grill. Or even the driver side window forward drop near the mirrors on a Ford truck...Instantly recognizable as a defining characteristic of a brand. Now, the logo is so often the defining feature. Lazy. Desperate. Billboard for status seeking fools.

That down tube cheapens Trek.
