Yellow? There was a 720 Multitrack that came in "champagne". The 720 touring bike came in something called "taupe", but I don't think you'd call that yellow. Color isn't my thing, though.

+10 Which model? The old classic top end touring bike, or the 1990s or newer middle of the road hybrid. Unfortunately, Trek reused the same number for two dramatically different bikes.

FWIW , the 720 touring road model never came in yellow. As posted above, taupe color was the closest to yellow. The hybrid model came in a variety of colors. Not sure if those came in yellow or not, but my recollection is no.

+1 Post some pictures, as I know I would love to see what a yellow Trek looks like. Sounds interesting!
