YES!!! I almost bought this Trek Frame just for the colour... https://bikeworldiowa.com/...rameset-230871-1.htm On sunday I rode together with the guy who designed this one: https://bigforestframeworks.com/...nnrad-stahlrahmen-2/ GREAT!!!
Wilier also knows something about paintjobs: https://wilier.com/...orld/road/cento10air

My own Crosser is Neon-Green with blue and orange (would also be OK without orange I guess...).

But whatever you do: it needs to be flashy and glossy - ban matte, ban black, ban stealth, and ban the logo on the fork

Considering how popular the Nardo Grey color has become in the automotive world, I'm surprised we don't see more bikes in that color.

Get outside!

These are excellent suggestions. I second:

• Black paint on the underside of the downtube and on the chainstays
• Removing any logos from the fork. Perhaps a pinstripe would be nice.

I like it- I would offer a bright version and also a subdued version.
I like gloss over carbon better than Matte nude. Matte dude shows every smudge and fingerprint.

What is the geometry like?

I don't care for the seat post to be painted...I prefer contrast there in traditional black and if you want, have your saddle match the frame color. Just like you wouldn't paint your stem and handlebars to match your frame instead of keeping them traditional black and using bar tape to match the frame color.

Here are pics of one of the samples in the wild

The cable routing is not final in this pic

We agree with you, Post will stay carbon with decal. Frame, only logo on downtube. will move RAD to a new logo design on inside chainstay. Fork blades have no logo outside, only Culprit C logo on inside of blade.

Any other suggestions. BTW
final post will be 2 options 1 offset or adjustable -18 to -30 degree post

Cheers.
