Nope, an aluminium trek lexa! We will see how the frame fixing works out!

Red!!! Says she who has five bikes, all of whom are red or mostly so. There's something satisfying about a red bike. Or something in miami blue, like the old Leyton House racing cars
Pink fading to black is eye-catching - someone I knew had a car painted up like that, and it's really eye-catching.

It looks to me that all the red green colour blind males are saying blue and the others are saying red or green whilst unaware that they will get knocked off as the colour blind people wont see them.
Nope. I have no colour blindness at all, I just like blue-green colours.
Do you want a bike that stands out from the crowd or one that is ignored. The first will require a lock that's almost as heavy as the bike
The other will be safe outside a cafe with a cheap cable lock. I went from bling colours to dirty grey then a sand colour don't carry a lock now.

I've had two bikes that were non- discript, one grey and a bit tatty, the other was a dark blue hybrid nicked, when locked up.

I have a fondness for pink, so very bottom right (cannot read the tiny lettering!).
Or Viola Chiaro (sp?) looks quite nice. Or possibly, like many others, one of the blues. They all look very, very shiny to me.
Not red. Not white. And deffo not black.
Also could depend if going to balance frame color with other bits e.g bar tape, bottle cages etc.

In the early 70s, my dad had a Rover 2000 in BRG. As a 'favour', I thought I'd do a bit of minor respraying for him. Went to Halford's and then realised that Rover / Ford / Vauxhall / BMC BRGs were all various bluer or yellower shades of what I'd naively assumed would be one colour - !

It's also sometimes called Forest Green. Well, that's what the Rootes Group had it as.
Rather like the unavailability of Emerald Green. It now tends to be referred to as Dublin Green or Kerry Green.

Brown would require less cleaning.

Beautiful Wife's bike is dark brown, (because she likes coffee and chocolate) and when I asked if I should respray it, as it's getting a bit tatty now, she declined because she doesn't want to have to clean it...
