POTUS Bike Maintenance

This photo below is exactly what you think it is:

I haven't ever seen the bike, but it looks like a Trek - the 'K' in the downtube graphic and Bontrager logo on the headset spacers are the clues. Plus they make more bikes than any other American company and it's not likely you'd see W on a Willier or even a Colnago. I've never grooved on Trek, but I do admire the way they take full advantage of high-profile appearances with custom paint and graphics. Witness W's head tube decal and red/white/blue scheme. You'll see a similar (though less subtle) paint scheme on Levi's bikes for Beijing, and Bert's Treks are as Espana Red and Yellow as Levi's are Stars and Stripes. Nicely done, Trek.
