Ja, it's a matte black finish. I must say it looks very nice. Just one or two minor things to sort out like the rear rim. My newly built wheel sits off centre. Fished around on the net and looks like these bike need the rim offset 6mm away from the drive side. Will get that sorted, no problem. The bike rides and handles so good. Have not ripped down the downhill course yet, ran out of time this weekend. Just bombed down into Giba Gorge on some of the trials but will be hitting Cascades PMB this coming weekend to give it a real run. Very, very happy with this bike. :D

Nige, Does your garage have space for your truck... HAHAHA

 

That Trek is real nice even if it has been thrashed on the WC circuit for a bit.

Have liked Treks DH rigs since the Diesel days.

Will check with him and come back to you. Depends also if you want the graphics painted in or if you going to put decals on.
