RE: denim
That's probably 3,4,5+ years out. My bike is 15-16 months old and looks the same. At least, if it HAS faded, it has been uniform. I store it in my garage but it sees a decent amount of Florida sunshine. It's been out in the noon heat a lot. I'm sure it will eventually fade a bit on the areas exposed to the most sunlight.

Hey, has anyone seen an older <relatively speaking>denim black model running around? I was curious about the color changes people are experiencing out there.

Isn't the idea behind the denim paint scheme to show wear and developa 'patina' over time?...

I honestly don't believe that is the idea. I just think flat paintdoesn't hold up against sunlight over time so they use that to put a positive spin on it because it WILL happen. I think it looks awesome when it is uniform, but when mine starts to 'fade like an old pair of blue jeans" it'll be getting a new paint job. Maybe denim again or maybe something different.
