Sounds good. I don't think the place can hit that rich burnt orange, so thinking about the red and getting some vinyl stickers with the yellow lettering. Not Factor, though. This is strictly a cheap buildup.

You don't see that in reference to hulk hogan very often, but I'm in the same boat

Third one for me, second one reminds me of ketchup and mustard mixed together.

Went with red/gold. Their burnt orange just wasn't the right tone. I will be putting on yellow lettering so it will look a bit like the middle one from that point of view. Looking forward to getting it and building it up.

Riding a lot, actually. Nothing wrong with current rig and I love my road bike. It is showing a bit of age, though. Tires limited to 23, rim brakes, etc. And the drive train is Wheeltop, which is fine (actually, it works awesome with 12 speed bits) but I don't want to be down if that goes out - it would take a while to get replacement parts. Combine that with the fact that I really enjoyed building up my gravel bike and I decided to add to the stable. This is a light, climbing build. Frame should be ~800g, wheels are 1320g. 32mm tires, disc brakes. I'd like to rotate them so I never get stuck without a ride (which has happened and it sucks).
So, basically, N+1 and I get to play with more toys.
That Trek color rules. The place I'm getting it through won't do complex painting, but they will do that fade. And I'd never actually own a Madone - I hate the seat mast.

Yea I'm not a fan of the Madone, it's pretentious. I ride a Domane
I get the new build, disc brakes and an updated drive train make it seem like you're riding something from the future. Just looked up Wheeltop, never heard of them but I'm pretty exclusive to Trek and Shimano. Having just added a gravel bike to two road bikes and a hybrid, I get the N+1 mentality. Looks like it's gonna be a banger, post it up when you get it done.

Possibly the best thing I've done with my bike in awhile. Being able to ride at 60-65psi is a godsend for most normal people on normal crappy roads.

I generally ride on the largest possible tires that my frames fit.

Good times!
Bikepacking trip 2 of 4 planned for this summer starts tomorrow. Riding from DC to Pittsburgh on the C&O and GAP. Camping most nights, expecting to get wet and muddy.
Rolling on 44s at like 35 psi (I can fit 50s, but the 44s just won't wear down enough for my cheap *** to replace them yet).
I'll snag some pics of the bike when it's fully loaded.

Super jealous. Likely spelled out somewhere above, but what’s your rig?

So jealous of you tall guys. You can fit 14 liters of water, a tent, and your sleeping bag in the triangle (I guess for you quadrilateral?). Just not fair.

It very much is, and it’s on my “to ride” list. I often do the W&OD (Washington & Old Dominion) trail path between Purcelville and DC, buts it’s not nearly as scenic.
