Thats a beauty mate, hold onto that one forever!

[tochnics]

thats a keeper for sure
would you consider to pimp it up some more like a new groupset ?

[lincoln]

How much does the frame weigh?

[Gravengaard]

I have considered a carbon crankset of some kind, but right now my liquid assets are somewhat limited One thing a like about this group is the color...

I've been told that the frame weigh around 1400 grams, but I'm not sure, and I don't know yet, what the entire bike weighs.

Haha, Gravengaard, didnt know that you came out of hiding from Trommeslageren.dk Don't know if you remember me, but I was on the same forum, as Kermit, probably most famous for my Pork Pie snare in Kermit Puke sparkle

But very cool bicycle, love to see it in real life!

And welcome to the forum.

[Gravengaard]

Mojn Kermit - ja, jeg kan da godt huske dig!! Er du ikke derinde mere?

Well, I'm just a bikefan like so many others, and when I'd finally got my greasy hands on one of those beauties, I couldn't resist the temptation of showing it to the world - and get many envy comments (where are they btw?)

That Trek Y Foil is the fastest looking one I've ever seen. Those wheels look like they slide thought the air.

You need to change your avatar! With a bike like that you don't have to look so serious (o_o)'

[Pantani]

Congrats - one of the coolest bikes ever posted here.

And people say Treks are boring!

It's an awesome bike & I bet it rides well also.
Take care of it!

IMHO it's only missing a big 56T chainring... looks like you could use it too with all that speedy equipment.

Thanks a lot!!

Actually I've sworn, that I never would buy a Trek, because they are so common and in my opinion quite boring to look at. But then I saw this bike in the danish pendant to Ebay, and bought it after 4 months or so, until the price was at a level that I could pay for

But it's a special bike and many keen cyclist have turned their head at least twice to look at this beauty

She's pretty and mean at the same time - a true piece of art!
