Depends on the green. That Salsa Chili Con Crosso I was looking at a year or so ago wouldn't necessarily qualify as being an "earthy" shade.Originally Posted by 7rider
None of those categories really fits my tastes. I like them either subdued, like mossy greens or browns or even grey, or make-yer-eyes-bleed fun colors like neon green. If I can't get the bike I want in either of those ranges, I stick with black.
Basically, no pastels or primaries for me.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

I like soft rich earthy tones too. If I ever get another bike it'll probably be the yummy color of a brown kraft paper bag.

One problem with the poll is that I LOVE black bikes and HATE white ones, which you grouped together. I have one of each. What I hate about the white one is that it gets dirty so fast, (I also dislike that it has a frilly blue decoration). What I love about the black one is it doesn't show the dirt, and like the red accents. In fact, nude carbon is my favorite. Second would be bare titanium...........
