I’ve been slowly doodling on this for a few monthes now. I realize the design is now out of date . Colnago, Giant, and Specialized all have very similar framesets. It’s not a race machine, it’s just a mercedes town car. Laidback and comfortable, with reasonable handling. The beauty of it is, though, it’s gold. Why doesn’t anyone else have a gold bike?
It’s classy, it’s timeless, and it perfectly fits in the laid back touring/riding to the coffee shop nitch.
I’ve seen silver weave several places, is there a way to make a gold carbon weave? You could ride a color like that all the way to the bank.
???

This is your bike… the gold-anodized aluminum Scott SUB.
The Texalium stuff (or so-called white carbon fibre, which is aluminised fibreglass) can be coloured in the clear-coat. You could have purple carbon fibre if you want.
Make an Eddie Bauer Edition and you’ll have it made.
I don’t care for the way the colors blended when I saved it as a jpeg, but the bmp format was over 500 kb (didn’t want to mess up dan’s server again.)
I beg to differ, though. Green/Gold is spectacular in person. It’s been very popular in the tuner community for some time now.
I beg to differ. Green/gold is that horrendously fugly ricer color that the 16 year old Cubans put on every car down here. Everyone I know laughs at it. The only thing worse is purple/green/gold. 
Couple of things:
If you really want gold/green, look up DuPont Chromillusion (sp?) paints. They are both colors at once from different angles. The paint runs in the hundreds of dollars per quart however if I recall.
Secondly, it’s possible to anodize titanium to almost any color, without applying any other metals/dyes to the surface. You put the part in a bath (I think plain salt water works) and run current through it. An oxide layer builds up, and depending on the thickness, scatters light of differing wavelengths. The best part is the oxide layer thickness is controlled by the voltage passed through the medium (rather than by duration, so it’s harder to screw up). With a variable voltage dc source, you can start low and watch the surface transition through the whole rainbow. I saw a guy who created Ti parts that where a stunning gold. IIRC, this was at about 72 V.
You can google how to do this. I might not have the process exactly right. If I had a Ti bike though I would definitely try.
Looks like a Corima to me
