First trek I have thought I would actually buy...

I could stare at this thing all day and night...

Not sure I love that, something about the seat stay and top tube not being parallel is upsetting me.

The only upsetting thing about this bike is the saddle choice, it looks like the old-nanna-sore-bum gel seat I bought for my missus

The whole thing touches me in special ways.

I love it to bits too, but they should offer some welders from Nicolai an all-expenses holiday to BC and a couple of weeks of work.

Agree the welding looks a bit shit. Is stainless steel harder to weld or am I just finding excuses because I’m in love?

Fuck knows, not like I could do it.

I’ve been drooling over it for months too, not that I could do it any justice.

Did you see that Dale chap on YouTube doing an early ride on one? Looked incredibly capable and he loved it.

Sorta yeah, it expands and contracts a lot as it heats and cools during the welding process and often distorts during cooling (and can be a bit of a bugger the work once cold again...). Not impossible and some people make it look easy, but most (myself included) would struggle to do better than what's in the pic @Tubbsy linked.
