I work for Trek… those aren’t “our“ wheels…
mind you, my Domane doesn’t run “our” wheels either, they are just sorta homely.
as you can see it also runs an early 70s Dura Ace derailleur, so my opinion on components is quite questionable.

So dare I ask….what’s your opinion on Ritchey wheels🤔

Let’s just say the original owner of that bike didn’t bin the perfectly good Bontragers that it came with because he wanted to downgrade the bike. The only thing I see ”wrong” with that bike is that it doesn’t sport the bright red paint that some of them do.
when the weather is too cold for using it as intended you could put it in the front room and enjoy looking at it over a favourite beverage. Not that I’ve ever done such a thing…
