This does put the HT version to shame and I actually own it and have loved it for years. I have my pre-order in for this one and can't wait. My "only" small gripe would be that the wheels look a little too bronze and I wish they were slightly darker. I'm sure Joost has references that have shown them to be this color, but they just look a little odd to me given all the other photos I've seen of the '89 in the past.
