Found a bike that fits me...

I'm afraid I have to admit, shame-facedly - that if it was a colour that I truly didn't get along with like lime green, or orange or bright pink... I would have to get it painted or pass it over...

I'm the same with cars and have passed down a couple of good car deals because of colour.

It seems rather precious of me when I write it... but its true...

I am so glad I have the 2005 version of my bike - lovely stealthy black with a bit of sparkle that shows up in the sunshine. The 2006 version is matte-finish, primer paint grey. I do understand that the colour isn't really that important compared to other bying criteria, but it has so much to do with the emotional appeal of a bike!
