By the time you have mudguards fitted you will most likely have toe overlap, the racks are all to cock, the saddle is from a cheap road bike, the seat angle seems rather steep, the brakes are (unfixable in the wild) hydraulics (why....????) and the paint job just makes my stomach churn.
I can't see many bearded touring types wanting to fit their Brooks to it and pedal off into the sunset, I really can't...

Trek couldn't have got it more wrong TBH

I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole (don’t mind the colour, though), but I have specific ideas about what a bicycle should be.
