Another Dream Come True

Check out Jim's new Project One Trek Pilot 5.9SL. This has got to be one of the coolest Project One bikes yet. The paint scheme is amazingly understated. Dressed in Obsidian Blue and Blue Carbon, you only see the graphics in sunlight or under the flash of a camera (see photos below). Jim went big with full Dura-Ace components, Aeolus 6.5 wheels, carbon bar, stem and seatpost. He then topped it off with Look Keo carbon ti pedals, Shimano Flight Deck Computer and paint to match Bontrager carbon fiber bottle cages. If you're doing the Arizona Ironman, keep an eye out for Jim on the bike leg!






If you're looking for that bike that nobody else has, come talk to us about a Project One Trek or custom Serotta. Your perfect dream bike is only weeks away!
