It's not massively different from a standard TRX, I like it... except the polished swingarm.

Given the industry I am in I really wanted to hate it as it was done by an architect - but I'll grudgingly admit I like that.

Everything Especially Cyclops.

Actually, don't like the wavy discs and as already said, polished SA is a bit rude.

Probably looks even better in the flesh with that colour combo too?

Could be fun. The TDM/TRX engine is quite a pleasant thing.

Visuals work ok for me,though you'd need your padded/gel cycling shorts for that seat after a minute or two.

I've said it before but you can't really go wrong with that endurance racer look.
I like it.
