I ended up with a Trek Lexa SLX 2012 - 52cm, color Satin White Shell/Satin Ghost Grey. Can't wait to ride this baby. I still have to name her!!

Very nice! I love the green bottle cages, and are those matching green accents on the rims?
Many happy miles!At least I don't leave slime trails.

I love green bar tape on bikes. I have lime green Fizik tape (I think they may call it apple green) on my cyclocross bike and it's fantastic...it's been covered in mud and cleans up so nicely. Originally Posted by Maye

I was going to suggest seeing if you can find matching green bar tape, but didn't mention it because I didn't know if you liked the white or not. If you can match it, I think it would look smashing with green! Originally Posted by Maye
