In the sea of stock black, black-and-red, black-and-blue, and black-and-white designs Trek’s Project One program has been a breath of fresh air. Over the years it has evolved to offer customers a bespoke buying experience with the ability to chose between a wide range of components and color schemes. With the click of a mouse, it’s possible to build a one-of-a-kind bike complete with your name on the top tube.

For 2018 they’ve released two more colorways. The Full Fade is a bi-color paint job with a subtle horizontal transition. The Breakaway splits the colors with an angled bias and a hard line. Both allow for bold or subtle statements depending on the colors you chose.

If you have yet to dabble with the Project One bike builder, you should give it a whirl. Just don’t let time get away from you…it’s easy to get lost in the hundreds of possibilities.

Hmmm … the breakaway split sure does look similar to the Speedvagen design that’s been out for a season or two. #imitationisflattery

The ‘Breakaway’ design also looks similar to the Norco Thresholds of 2016/2017 : https://bikerumor.com/2016/02/12/review-norco-threshold-sl-cyclocross-race-bike-gets-muddy-goes-fast/

I have a Trek from 1992 painted in a what you might call a “breakaway” paint scheme.

Everything old is new again.

fades are always a risky proposition in my book – most of those look like crap. But good on Trek for offering them.

I’m a fan of the Project One fade. Colors need to selected to meet my taste and Trek does limit the combos. Regardless, these are Project One bikes. As such its someones semi-custom wish. If its hideous, its on them (but hopefully beauty is in the eye…).

A black fade on the bottom just makes your bike look like it is dirty.

Trek has returned to being the best and probably most underrated brand in the bike industry. Love the 90s cannondale yellow green fade. I used to loathe Trek and now I own four. Keep the it up!!
