  • Getting my frame re-sprayed on tuesday. Never thought its so difficult to make a simple colour decission. Got stuck and keep annoying my bike friends (and everyone else). Need your valued opinions. will count votes.

    bike: unknown french track frame, crome bits, will have sugino 75, miche hubs, front brake, curved handle bar.

    colour option 1: slightly darker white (kind of cream or off-white), possibly mat silver deep V's
    colour option 2: light sea blue (bit lighter than the On-One and touch more jellow-ish rather than baby blue), possibly with white deep V's

    Always liked that blue and always wanted white as well but thinking if I reserve white for my dream keirin bike to come in the future sometime. This frame is more my everyday ride, nothing too special.
    I post some photoshop impressions.

  • actual frame photoshopped (all parts will change)

  • colours?

  • do the blue.. save the white for something a bit more special. Also, way too many white bikes around :D

  • my other bikes are:

    • red (fixed, itca track)
    • black (road, condor italia)
    • light blue/light yellow (road, colnago)
  • blue will look good. and less of them around

  • exactly, too many white fixies around these days.

  • Thanks, keep comments comming. I have until monday eveening to wreck my brain.

  • whats the site where you can mess with colourways?

  • The blue looks a little like the blue used by Schwinn for their 2008 Madison.

    Hang on, its a little darker. Oh well, gives some idea what a light blue track bike looks like

  • white :)

  • Blue for sure. White bikes are common as muck and boring. Sorry white bike owners but it's true! :P
    Just make the blue different to Pompino otherwise you'll be confused for a practical, mud-guard using off roader or something :)

    common - how dare you madam!

    if you weren't a lady i'd take you outside and and you'd feel the cold hard steel of my duelling cutlass

  • looks like it came back to blue then.
    thought you were taking it down to armortex the other day... changed your mind?

    i avoided white as well... but i still think the off white is good. it goes to show all the white bikes out there what's the cool new white.

    i saw jimmy's white nagasawa today at herne hill. jaw-dropping!

  • I'd say do your own thing, who gives a **** about other bikes, we're not talking about fashion, init, or are we?

    Think about the time when you've seen a bike and thought "wow! that's a great colour, I wished my bike had the same colour", then that's the colour you want.

  • Wayne: I knew someone would comment :) Yours is off-white so it doesn't look too much like AFG (another fscking genesis)

  • Hippy - your next frame should be this colour - mmmmmmmm cherry ripes...

    didn't actually know that site. did my colour experiments in photoshop as I couldn't remember where the image came from. Thanks

  • edmundane looks like it came back to blue then.

    got delayed due to some technical problems with getting stuff of the frame which unfortunately gave me more time to think. Blue in the lead so far. off white still a possibility. cherry ripe definite no no.

  • fixer I'd say do your own thing, who gives a **** about other bikes, we're not talking about fashion, init, or are we?

    that must have been the time when I stopped looking at girls on the street and started looking at bikes. so instead of blond, black, brunette its now a range of about a million colours...

    I like Waynes new Mercian colour. That would be my alternative to blue. Maybe a sligtly little bit litghter (hard to tell from the pics)

  • wayne_f14 Hippy - your next frame should be this colour - mmmmmmmm cherry ripes...

    Or this colour:

  • I had a feeling that this might turn into nonsense at some point.
    its serious!!!

  • pearlescent takes he hard edge off the white and gives it a bit of depth, more like the colour of mik

    the mercian kingfisher flamboyant is a gorgeous colour

    mercian colours
