DH and I were in the LBS today and I was looking at a Santa Cruz Juliana (sadly no I am not shopping just like looking). It was real eye catching but I really wonder the logic of and all white moutain bike? I mean really white, white fork, white frame, white grips. It was sexy and I was sitting here thinking if I had $1900... Wait, could I really deal with that? I think an all white mountain bike would make me OCD really fast.

I must agree, Amanda. Insanity, I tell you!
(I have a white road bike, but that's not the same thing at all....

But white bikes are hot...
Except the grips. No matter how good they may look, not even OCD can keep those clean.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

LOL - at least you would know when it needs a clean.
DirtDiva - have you been off eating cake for awhile? Good to see you back.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I have a white road bike, and it's beautiful but it shows every speck of dirt and splashed gatorade and grease. When I had a mountain bike, it was black, and I got away with lots of caked mud and who knows how much grease. But white bikes are awfully pretty!
