Ordered my new bike!

[GLC1968]

Congrats, Lisa! The color choice sounds beautiful and I can't wait to see the final bike!

(Did you ever consider Ti for your new bike? I know it's pricey, but man it rides wonderfully on chip-seal.... and it's light and rust-proof to boot!)

I like your pear color too. ah, and you will be able to accessorize nicely.

i agree about how long you're going to wait. I hoped to get mine in time for mother's day... when did i get it? Almost august..

but since you already realize this; it won't be so bad.

Yahhh, Lisa! Congrats on choosing to get a custom bike. The pear color will be spectacular! How about copper for an accent color?

nice choice....

which part of the pear are you thinking about? darker or lighter parts? i like the color of the dark spots...

imagine that pear with a turkey red stem!!!

Hmmm....colors.
Here's a little swatch I made up of the basic pear color with a few possible colors for accents like handlebars:

Of course everyone's computer monitors are adjusted slightly differently so people might all be seeing the colors a little differently. So, just a general idea.
A flat color certainly has a different feel to it than the full depth of color of a real pear.

(I wonder if guys on guy biking forums obsess about colors so much as we do?)

Yes I am keeping my Rambouillet because the whole idea was to be able to have two bikes, for when one is possibly in shop getting fixed/changed etc.

some guys do....Dh is a painter (artist) and he's into color...

I'm liking the blue with that yellow....

What's the name of that frame builder here in Eugene...let me go find it...they have a great page of painted tubes...remembering that the color will not be flat!! here:
