Bike Color Help (Updated)
Quote | Reply
Tracy's Guru Crono is back at Guru getting repainted. It has been light blue, which looks really nice but it might be time for a change. What do the womens like? She can choose a solid color or the two-tone style. You might say, "It's her bike, why doesn't she pick the color?" Because it'll probably end up in the ST classifieds after Kona, so we want to choose a color or colors that the majority of the womens will like...the bike is a 47cm, so it's highly unlikely a guy would fit on it. Let me know what you think.

First, I'm buying it. First reply gets it, right? :)

What are her kit colors? She should get it to match! Don't worry, I'll buy it no matter what color it is hehe ;)

She is sponsored by Splish and they custom make her racing kits and swimsuits to match her bike : )
Again, there's a very good chance it'll be up for sale after Kona, so we're thinking about the desires of potential buyers or the womens, in general. If she decides to keep it then she already has colors picked out.

Lots of people viewing, no one replying... I don't get it.

Anyways, playing with Guru's site led me to these ideas:
If I got it to match the Xantusia kit it would be two tone white & blue.
If I got it just to be sexy it would be two tone black & blood.

I've been thinking about this and I'd go for a deep purple. It isn't girly but it isn't a total boy color either. Maybe a purple and pearl white?

Yeah, but I'm also taking into consideration the source ; )
All black with white or colored decals is also an option.

Two tone: Black & Orange (or black with orange decals) would look pretty cool ...but that's just me and my opinion doesn't count since I already bought a bike from you!
Anyway... the baby blue has to go ...

Hopefully, the Felt is working out well for you ; )
The womens are a lot more hard core than I would've thought...black and blood, black and orange. Maybe we'll just do all black.

C'mon, I need more opinions. You can play with the colors here

I'd suggest copper metallic. That would be my favourite colour.

Please dont do black - black bikes are horrible - I (my opinion obviously) have shied away from buying a couple of bikes the last 3 years because all of the manufacturers were putting out black or black and white or dark grey bikes. Hate them.

I like some color, so orange with yellow accents, or dark pink with white or red accents. Girly girl colors, but it ain't black!

Black and orange would look really nice, but I'm also liking the orange as the base color. That would go well with the Team Xantusia kit too.
