So what color IS the best color?



Let's stop pussyfooting around the issue, shall we?

The four best colors/schemes applied to a bike frame are:

1) Rivendell's Quickbeam: "Coleman Stove Green"/white panel
2) Bridgestone's XO-1: "Industrial Orange"/white panel
3) Surly Cross-Check: "Bean Green"
4) Bontrager Race Light: Scarlet/White and Silver panel

Bridgestone orange.

I know not many others dig it but I am growing to like that strange old light green color that Surly Long Haul Truckers had up until the 2006 year.

ima have to go find a photo of that one.

surly has had some pretty cool stock colors over the years. that royal blue a few years back was nice.

black, white, and silver have got to be the dumbest car-like colors.

and remember the DayGlo of the 80s? Simpson still has a hunter orange Team Marin that swear to god actually glows in the dark.
