… the “platinum” EX8? Not sure if its an aweful look or a grower?

Maybe I’ll look at it again after a few pints…

I saw it in my LBS and in the flesh it looks good. To be honest I didn’t like the raw look Ex9 to start with but it’s grown on me. (Two guys I ride with have it)

Looks alright to me – and bound to look better in the flesh.

My 2010 Stumpjumper FSR was similar in that the catalogue pic made it look really flat& dull, but in the flesh it caught the light & the paint was spangly too…

I like it

You are all clicking on the colour changer right? Its the grey/red one I’m on about….

^^^ it wasn’t obvious we were meant to…

But, it looks ok too. Again, probably better in the flesh. Prefer the darker colour though, if having to choose.

Gopping. Less is more, Trek, less is more…

Urgh. Looks like a Giant tbh.

With that white seat and stem it looks like the biking equivalent of a pimped up Citroen Saxo.

They’ve got one in my LBS, and it looks pretty damned good in the flesh in that colour.

Way better than the browns and beiges most of the previous models were!

Saw one today. Not nice.

damn, i like it – always had a ‘thing’ for black bikes….

Looks okay to me, i wouldn’t buy it simply because it’s a Trek though.

What’s wrong with Trek?

i like the black one 😛
Not sure about stem and saddle but I like the frame on the red/grey one 🙂

What’s wrong with Trek?

Nothing i’m sure with the bikes, it’s just as a company i don’t like them.

3’s a crowd. Having three different colours(3 shades of grey aren’t “different”) on one thing, be it a mountain bike or a car, or even ones clothes looks bad. The “platinum” one looks pretty horrid imo.
