Bike porn

Shut up Marcin. It's incredible.

I have always wondered if people see colour differently from each other, in a similar way that dogs see in black and white. I would explain why salmon pink makes me want to be sick yet inspres others to paint it on expensive custom bicycles.

Spotter, that Roberts is very nice indeed. Anyone on here hate red? interested to know.

ps I am NOT trying to be sarcastic or facetious.

I love this bike.

It's not trying too hard, looks like it rides great. oozes cool.

I think you're totally right, the 2 i quoted i find absolutely boring beyond belief and it does nothing for me (I mean, black bikes are boring but i still find them nice so i guess it depends)

Red bikes are faster. Fact.
Even faster with the brake lever in the open position (for the Roberts)

i really hate red. i bought a red gangsta track and immediately sprayed it black with one tin of barbecue paint. twas a really nice powdercoat underneath as well.

The above Colnago Dream Pista frameset is for sale if that's good enough: http://www.dba.dk/stel-colnago-dream-pista/id-1002540617/

Hm, it probably would have been but I think that price is a fair bit more than it's worth. Having said that, I'm sure it'll sell.

Though I hate the salmon pink on the geekhouse, I think maybe I'm more concerned about a design being clean and simple and flattering for the bike. To qualify what I said before, I think almost any colour can work in the right context.

Paintjob is by far the hardest choice ever, i need to pick pretty dam soon and i have absolutely no idea what colour to go for

If the branding is attractive, the frame is beautifully built, and the paintjob is high quality, you can't go wrong with black.

One of my personal favourite colour combinations is dark red and cream.

Exactly. Paint is personal but 1000AA is wrong in this case. (Just kidding). Agree with joe, red paint is shit on almost all bikes.

:(

that's the right red.

Yeah, decals also make a pretty big difference the paint job, the talbot frameworks ones are a bit 'classic/retro' by my standards, hence looking into doing my own as well.

I agree that black does look good but I feel like i should go with something a bit different (hence why i like henrys geekhouse)

that's the right red.

Exactly this.

Actual flat, boring red is not my cuppa tea.

wheres that red borghini that's always on here.

wee bit of brown in the mix. maybe ? that was a really nice red.

flam red all the way

^ also this obvs (so modest):

fucking hell I would like matching Roberts road and track bikes.

HAHAHAHA lold irl and repped so hard.

For those who don't understand the picture, that is me when I was 16. Very, very overweight.

Eyebrows' Geekhouse

you should have got out of bed and come on the ride today, then you could have spent all day staring at it lustfully

Main reason I am upset for not coming tbh, genuinely.
