Keep reading guesses. No one cares much at this point and knowing the answer is usually way less exciting than what people can dream up in threads like this.

I saw it... and was deeply disappointed.
Sleep late on the 19th, it's not worth getting up early for.

Integrated accessories, such as built-in lights and computer and tire pump, as standard equipment hidden inside the frame.

That said - if it really does immensely improve safety then I am all for it.
I have personally always felt that since the era around when the first aero road helmets where starting to come out that I started to notice the number of concussions in riders going up as well. I'm sure they passed all their tests and certification but I always felt something basic about the design had changed enough and it was having way more of an impact on actual safety than anyone realized. I don't know that anyone found any particular issue but that's when you started noticing work on systems to make helmets markedly better, MiPS, etc. Hoping that was all just natural innovation but kind of feel it was in response to seeing some numbers come up.

A while ago, I remember seeing something in a message or perhaps someone's signature line that went something like:
A frame lighter than smoke;
that disappears in a wind tunnel;
that is blessed by the Pope.
(I'd love the complete and accurate version)
Maybe Trek really did it!

Yes, it is an example of sophisticated social engineering, kind of like the email John Podesta got:

So, is this something that I should sign in at 12:01 AM, March 19th so I can get my order in early before the mystery elixir sells out?
What time zone?

Got down to 23 F last night. I spent today playing in the snow. Wouldn't have it any other way. I promise I won't come down and ruin your state.
