(Bold New Graphics used to be code for "We didn't do any significant thing at all with this model in the new model year, so we splashed some different paint on it and call it "New." I.e. marketing sarcasm.)
Color me extremely underwhelmed by Trek's SS/FG offerings...

yeah, first time I have seen an aluminum, non-cervelo bike with a proper cutout on the seat tube.

I'd agree, except that the retro vintage crankset is totally out of place on that otherwise very modern bike.

Also look at how much they downgraded the spec from 2011 to 2012. From American Classic wheels and an FSA carbon track crankset to alex rims and whatever the hell crankset is on there now. I do like the color better but otherwise major downgrade.
