gummibear Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 They look much better in person than on the photos and i am not a big Trek fan...but that may change. http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/188763_205208076173174_115837675110215_718793_4503293_n.jpg
gummibear Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Yes they are a sponsor of the Trek Leopard Team
Moolz Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Excuse my ignorance but whats so cool about the frame?
Tumbleweed Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Excuse my ignorance but whats so cool about the frame? Team edition?
LazyTrailRider Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I've never really understood why people are willing to pay (in many cases more) for something slathered with someone else's branding and promotional visuals. The original sponsors should be paying you, not the other way around... (The kit I ride with is branded with my company's logo and several of our homegrown product logos, but I guess I'm just a minority).

But 3 billion other suckers can't be wrong.

T-Shirts with Billabong big on the front are more expensive than good t-shirts without a brand. Cycling kit that looks sponsored is another example. Just plain silly...
rudi-h Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Excuse my ignorance but whats so cool about the frame? if it's cool enough for cancellara, it's cool enough for me
splat Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 It looks quite understated to me.Not slathered in branding or sponsor's logos. @Gummibear: Is it more expensive than any other Trek 6.9SSL ?
splat Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 What is that for? Its their integrated speed sensor - you just add the magnet to the wheel.There is also a cadence sensor on the outside on the chain stay. From Trek Website:DuoTrap seamlessly integrates the computer sensor into the frame to measure speed, distance, and cadence with no added aerodynamic drag. It works with all the major ANT+ wireless technology players, including Bontrager, Garmin, Powertap, and SRM.
