This is the a photo of my bike from the Pinkbike listing. It was a demo bike for a shop in Hood River OR, before I gave her a proper home.
Sometimes you can get a great deal on a shop demo bike. 60cm and 62cm demo bikes don't get much use, so they are usually low miles + dirt cheap(a very small market for big bikes)
Those handlebars were way too wide for me(46cm) and once I set the saddle height properly, a -17 degree stem placed the bars too low. This is how she looks today.

It looks great BTW.

As a fellow 60cm Trek rider, what sort of discount are you talking about with the floor demo models? At some point in the next year I need to get a new bike, and that's an appealing route...
