Actually, I like the dark mustard/dirty banana colour a lot...so much so that my 2001 Road was painted that colour, though at the time it was called Harvest Gold.If you remember the 70's colour scheme of avocado, harvest gold and brick/terra-cotta , you can imagine some of the grief I endured. But I'm glad I picked the colour. I think your photos give a clearer impression. I'm not so sure about the shade of blue...I thought it would be more like the SH blue, which I think is a really nice colour
I like those Appaloosas a lot; I really like the bars, silver cranks and hubs, and the spoke protector...well it's not too intrusive. About the only thing that I'd ditch would be the saddle ; that's fugly, but saddle preferences are so personal , for the terrific intro price you could get another saddle you like. Hope the Appaloosa buyers enjoy their new bikes, though On Thursday, February 25, 2016 at 7:56:49 PM UTC-6, Patrick D Kelly wrote: > > I think those blug photos make the dirty banana color (my name for > their "mustard") look much darker than it actually is.
