I'm jumping in because I just bought a trek with a similar theme. I didn't like the white handlebars and planned on putting my black seat on it. However, after talking it over my husband--he thought the white handlebar tape looked sharp and if I changed the seat it wouldn't match. The lbs owner said that was the new colors for next year. He fitted me with the white seat on it--so I am going to go with it for awhile. Function will win over fashion in the long run, however. I've only rode it once, but my sister and brother-in-law said, "WOW!" It's growing on me!
