[drifting off-topic again...]

Does anyone else think that bike makers seem to be following the same design principles as sneaker makers these days with overly busy color schemes and writing on every square inch? Trek is especially guily of this. I like my colour schemes to be simple, reflecting the elegant simplicity of the machine itself. Garish colour schemes seem to me to be trying to make the bike look like something it isn't.
