Hey Riv listers. Here's a great resource for colors:
http://paintref.com/paintref/index.shtml. The site provides color codes,
samples, and sometimes pics, for a large number of automobile makes and

Lynne, after looking at those buckled top and down tubes maybe best to just
move on and get a Sam or Betty/Gomez. Then again I know how personally
invested people can be in a bike but just my 2 cents.

guess since you already shelled out for the couplers it would pay to have

On our Custom Bilenky tandem we told them painters choice.. I'm ok with
it.. Dawn is kinda freaking out.
I need to send my Bombadil in for a repaint.. I've scratched it up pretty
good which is ok.. but the bike rack that ravaged my seat tube decal is
annoying the hell out of me.I'm think
It does put a huge burden on the builder, I think. It's easier if you
have to choose from a restricted range of choices, especially if the
builder has chosen several that he thinks work particularly well with
that type of bike. "Sky is the limit" really doesn't work, as not all
colors or schemes
I'm in that camp. If I were to get a custom, I'd ask the builder to
pick the color.

I had the same issue when trying to choose custom colors. First one was on
the Bombadil, and after choosing an almost black dark green found that the
painter either chose another dark green color due to him not having the
Imron one I had chosen, or that the color I chose looked completetely

Garth, that is one pretty bike. I love the way it picks up the light.
Thanks for the color chart, maybe if I can whittle it down to 5-6 colors in
the next week I will be at least closer. :)

Hahaha, I am the opposite, where I cant give anyone an accurate

will love it, there is really no color that I don't like, outside of neons.
Understandably, most shops are not comfortable with that arrangement for
