Pick a colour for your bike

[Illaveago]

My bike frame is being sandblasted and resprayed after an accident in June and the sprayers sent me this delicious photo of all the colours I could pick!!!

It’s like picking a kitten at the shelter! I want about four of them! What would you pick?

Kittens ?

Usually I choose British Racing Green - both my Brompton and Dawes are that colour. I rather like some of the blues on the top right of the chart though.

I do remember it being difficult choosing the Brompton colour - much harder than the rest of the spec.

Another vote for the blue spectrum

Well for my bike (or one of them anyway) it would be Celeste,..

There are some nice colours to choose from though. Go for something bold

I nearly went celeste because I really want a Bianchi...but then I decided it would be like getting a Lidl Bianchi. Looks good from a distance but not the real thing.

Red ones go faster . . .
But mine is due a change, and I’l be doing black upper fading to white lower. Because I’m a masochist.

This is why I keep building bikes; I want to try out different colours...

It may be worth asking how durable a finish is. I had a bike resprayed Flam red by Argos in Bristol and it chips and flakes easily - they told me afterwards a solid colour would have better.

Answering the question- orange.

Go old school and add the Skoal Bandit colours.
