How important is bike color to you?

[obie]

I have to admit, when I bought my save-up-for-years-to-buy-the-bike-to-last-me-a-lifetime bike, I ended up requesting a special paintjob, with custom colors no less. it is blue fading into silver, with silver stars on the blue. It makes me happy every time I look at it. SO great! So although I still feel self-conscious about a scrapper like me having such a fancy bike, I have never ever regretted the paint job. It is awesome. One of the staff people at Seven told me they were referring to it as the "Wonder Woman bike" - they were going to use it for their catalog but the paint wasn't dry enough yet on the day of the shoot!

My other bikes: I have one WSD bike and luckily it's red without too many swirly bits.

Here's my kinda-sorta pink bike, I already yammered about it here on Meg's thread.



This was after I had it repainted the exact same color.

That frame is GORGEOUS in person! I got a glimpse of it at the TE sidewalk sale a few months ago.

It's the bike on the right - I'll try to find a better photo; I'm really bad at tech stuff
But picture the blue side having metallic silver stars and then fading away into total silver...

Thanks Ellen!
Good thing that Prius didn't back into it...

And obie, I hope you can round up a better pic of your Seven, you're killing me here!
