People still turn heads and look at the bike as I ride by them. Conti 3000 700X25 are kinda wide, but for 2000, they changed to Axial Pros. Stiffness Weight Made in Chehalis, WA, far from Trek factory. Dura Ace, Chris King Hubs, Speedplay X2s. It's also stiff.
Paint is really cool.
My biggest beef is that stupid ass Trek apparently stopped making the 63cm. Superb in corners. Switch to XTR when new, and the problem is solved. I've now ridden about 2400 km., and the Vector Pros are still tight and true, I haven't touched them, though I'm 90 kg.
