Ordered my new bike!

[Bad JuJu]

Now I'm thinking beeswax color with a couple of tiny bees on it. And black components. Maybe sky blue or blood red bar tape.....

OOOH, I love that idea! Beeswax with bees. Or you could go a little yellower and "dress" the bike like a bee--all black and yellow. Though the red bar tape would be a lovely accent. Hmmm, brings up some ideas for the bike's name, too. Buzz, maybe?

I haven't been visiting this forum as much as usual, so I guess I missed the initial announcement of your having ordered a new bike. Good for you! Can't wait to see the pix!

What a great spring present you will have!

I have no doubt that it will be perfect...you already know too much about a.) what you like, b.) fit. for it to be anything else...

and on the off chance that it isn't....well you got a queue of gals here who will help you out...

DId you have a look at the co-motion site for color ideas? check these out:

I already got many color paint chips and wrapped them around a tube with DH in the outside light to envision the bike.
I've decided on a beeswax color that has a tiny hint of greenish in it so it won't be too mustard. It's a soft honey color. Plus , I have mocked up a little bee that will go on the top tube. The components are basically going to be black.

Maybe the bar tape will be a dark red (but not wine) if I can find some. -anyone know of any?

Phase 1: build the frame (happening now)
Phase 2: get it painted (might take 4-6 weeks I think)
Phase 3: build up the bike with components (we are going to be sending her some, hunting for others, and she'll be providing some as well)

I figure at least two more months.
