This means you can touch it up in later years without the touch-up showing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41152 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:53:58 +0000 wee folding bike 41152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Black. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41149 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:14:40 +0000 custard 41149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>white for me<br /> always liked a bike in white </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41142 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:06:01 +0000 amir 41142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Of the bikes that I own, I don't like the colour of the bianchi (not green nor blue CELESTE). It's fine when its new but once it's dirty and scratched not so good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41138 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:59:45 +0000 chdot 41138@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Black or white or Gunmetal Grey or red or blue&amp;white or Holly Green. </p> <p>Think that just about covers the ones I've got. </p> <p>Used to have a nice salmoney pink Specialized which was unusual at the time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41136 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:44:36 +0000 Dave 41136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting question. I'm planning to get my Raptobike frame repainted locally, and have the same dilemma.</p> <p>Something metallic and flash for me though, because all the other ones in the country are vanilla white and so I expect to make more when I sell it than the cost of the job...</p> <p>Deep metallic green or blue, I think. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41135 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:33:08 +0000 wingpig 41135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Whichever colour thieves are least likely to consider worth bethofting?</p> <p>If I get my old frame repainted during the get-it-back-on-the-road process I was going to go for an unpleasant greenish-brown snot/earwax colour to decrease the resale value. Currentbike and oldframe are both red, just because oldframe happened to be red and currentbike was only available in red or blue when I chose it. On reflection blue would have been better as so many accessories have unavoidably come in various combinations of red/grey/black/white, which might have created the entirely wrong impression that I was trying to get everything to match. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3932#post-41134 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:28:20 +0000 amir 41134@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What's the best colour for a bike?</p> <p>I used to like a nice metallic blue but now I'm into silver. </p>
