curious what else folks like

terry b 02-14-2007, 10:00 AM 2006 white Look 585, the old orange and blue Orbea Euskaltel, Colnago AD20 (pearl white with blue accents), that Fondriest SAT scheme with the monuments, the 2000 Pinarello Opera in silver, Colnago GEO.
Mr. Versatile 02-14-2007, 03:57 PM The orange/yellow fade Orbea Euskatel bike. Simple awesome.

X2 on the Geo paint scheme. I lament the sad and unimaginative Colnago paint schemes of today. What happened?:(

I agree, they used to get knocked for being too busy, and now they're boring as hell. Sad, sad times.

lancezneighbor 02-14-2007, 06:44 PM I like that Colnago with the Mediterranean map on it. I dunno what it's called. I think Terry has one. I love wild Colnago paint, but then again I'm from NM so it reminds me of the lowriders.

Geeeeeoooooooh.
Lowriders - hah!

Yeah that one. You know Terry, next time you have a custom done you should have one of our very talented local guys do the paint, I'm serious about that. Colnago style with chiles, zias, an outline of the Sandias, maybe La Virgen if you are so inclined. Ok, probably not your style but maybe consider the option.

A theme based on La Virgen would be incredibly cool.
Just ordered some chile bar plugs today from Purely Custom, a pepper bike would be fantabulous also.

T-shirt 02-15-2007, 11:56 AM 1st bike, Project One special order is that OK?
2nd bike, RBR member but I forgot who, sorry.
Update: The 2nd bike belongs to Bonked.
mntvon2 02-15-2007, 12:45 PM I have to agree w/ the original post. I used to have a Colnago Ovalmaster 6/4 Ti frame w/ the Mapei scheme. It was the envy over everyone in my hood. I sure do miss her. However, I have a beautiful new baby on the way- a LOOK 595 team edition. Not so bad, eh?
jimcav 02-15-2007, 01:05 PM more of a classic understated design, but if you painted it primer grey it would still be one of if not the best bike on the road

I'm glad I got in under the window with a NL-4 paint scheme. It's awesome, and I'll never sell it.
