It's that belly it has......and it's long "neck" toptube/downtube junction. Just looks horrible.

Trek please melt that Remedy 29 Proto and start over, it's hideous. Thank you.

I second that

Yeah I have to agree he's been hot on Gwin's heels.

I picked Fabien, it seems some others agree, lol

I don't have kids but what I can say is that everyone's journey is different. My parents were not rider's per se, but rather the kind who liked to take their kids to state parks and beaches and we would all ride around on bikes. They never forced, but rather encouraged me to get outside and explore. For me as a kid, my bike was freedom. It got me everywhere. I would ride to the store, ride to friends houses, sometimes in the snow because my parents worked and I didnt have a ride. It was adventure. Now I did fall for mountain bikes at a young age, my uncle and his friends rode, this was the mid nineties and mtn biking was booming. They had really cool Stumpjumper's and I wanted a real mtn bike too. I spent a few summers riding my Trek 850.... A few years later that bike was collecting dust and I worked a whole summer to buy my first real BMX. That was about friends and adreneline more than anything else, it just was't "cool" to be pedaling up hills in the woods anymore. Fast forward a few more years, my first "freeride" bike and some summers "hucking"... and I had stopped riding completely. Friends, party's, girls, college, work.... it get's in the way. One day in my early 20's I said to myself you know what I miss? My bike. Since then my passion has only grown every single day. And it's for the same reason's it made me feel alive as a kid. Freedom. Adventure. Friends. But now it's more... Pushing myself mentally and physically and my passion for the outdoors... riding my bike makes me whole. I love it.

I knew that joke had some gas left in tank, lol
