The Wilbury is dark green - I briefly stuck the wheelset in it, and it looks great. Here's a pic, but it doesn't show the color very well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8119883720/in/set-72157631845152497 This one, without wheels, is better. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8067478952/in/set-72157631845152497/
I'm going to get the Bomba a full repaint. I've been talking to the guys at Bilenky about whether there's any way to make clear powdercoat as durable as colored.

And those wheels will look glorious on a Wilbury, too. What color is the Wilbury? Are you having the whole bike re-sprayed a new color, or just retouching the installation scars from the frame couplers? I was wondering if the third tube on the frame would be new ground for Bilenky, but they've put S&S couplers on many a triple tube tandem, and probably even more off-beat frames.
