I'm very tempted by these, just stumbling over the 4 models/budget.
I think the 9.7 is what I'm looking for, but prefer understated bikes and the colours are quite loud.
When I looked at one a couple of weeks ago I noticed the Procaliber logo on the top tube was raised so possibly above the laquer..just debating if the huge TREK logos on the downtube are the same, if so the white and black would tone down nicely if I can remove the huge red Trek decal!
Can anyone confirm they could be removed? I've seen someone selling kits to cover them with a different colour but I'd rather just remove it all together!
All the logos are under the laquer. Top tube ones are raised. Down tube are not. Mine is a pretty stealthy colour though
Thanks, I found a Facebook group for the bikes and they said the same. Glad it's just the top tube that's a raised logo...the only reason I noticed is because I was thinking that it probably wouldn't take invisiframe very well!I
I've seen a couple on eBay with a similar low key colour scheme to yours, just weighing up whether it's worth a six hour drive and £600 saving off a new one for the colour and loss of warranty (not transferable it seems!).
erm, I have the 9.6 (2022 spec) and ALL the logos's are contoured. The top tube logo is raised BUT the down tube TREK logos are indented.
Mine is the especially hideous hi-viz yellow and smoky black colour scheme (the only one available in my size at the time). There was also a blue and gold logo with oilslick hubs version that was a 100 more expensive though not in my size - not sure about the graphics on that but i got the feeling they were flush

we got a 3 year 2nd owner warranty when buying Mrs BS’s Checkpoint, frame only obviously.
Tell me more, can you just tell them you've bought a secondhand bike and obtain a 2nd owner warranty?
Are they still 141 qr on the rear wheel?
Whats the tyre clearance like?
Thanks

Boost 148, officially 2.4 at the rear, but that's generous as in you could go bigger

yes, if the bike/frame had a lifetime warranty you get 3 years as second owner. You need the original proof of purchase though. We just asked the guy we bought it off and he supplied his. I don’t know if this is 3 years from when we bought it or 3 years from original date of purchase, I suspect the later.
