    OMG; so many choices! What fun.

    I love that Purple Pearl. That, along with Cinnamon Candy over Copper, are my favorites. But of course, it's not my bike (although I wish it were)!

    Have fun with your selection. I've seen a few bikes in person that that have a pearlescent paint job. They look absolutely gorgeous in sunlight.

    Indy - have you seen the Purple Pearl or the Cinnamon Candy over Copper in person? You know how different color can be in reality compared with a computer monitor. I suspect that it will be one of those two Certainly worth the $75 upcharge!

    Drool. Those are gorgeous. I'd have a really hard time picking colors, and with a practically infinite pallete, I think my head would explode. I really like that red you posted, though.

    I look forward to seeing pictures.

    The only way I'd get black is if it were metallic with maybe a metallic charcol accented in metallic purple pin-stripe.

    I like all the charcoal choices!

    Not much help, am I?

    Seriously though, I chose both the purples you did. And all the oranges. Sigh.
    You noted, of course, that I said I would choose a set of 5 to limit my choices and then immediately changed it to 6

    I suspect that I won't make the final choice until my fitter is filling out the paperwork for the actual order. I could not make that choice at this particular minute if I had to do so

    I was at my LBS today while they took some measurements from my LHT to send to Gunnar. They had a set of color tubes from Comotion that I checked out, it was quite interesting, though of course they were colors from a different company.

    I look great in purple, and also like copper...I suspect that my future Sport will likely either be the Candy Plum over Charcoal Silver or Cinnamon Candy over Copper - and if I were to choose today then it would be the Candy Plum

    It has been fun to read the comments on this - and I am looking forward to finally getting the actual bike. Considering that we have had one of the coldest and snowiest Decembers for Indianapolis for some time, I suspect that there won't be many rides this winter. This will give me lots of time to consider the companion for my LHT

    It is gorgeous, a very deep and rich purple metallic I do like green as well, but I wasn't taken by any of the greens in the "recent colors" collection. Was going to go blue, but I already have a blue bike, and my car matches my bike. Have to have my priorities right Of course, I might just have to have a blind drawing between the candy plum and the cinnamon over copper at the end, but time will tell.

    I haven't. I wonder if Gunnar can provide a paint sample or direct you to an auto shop for a look-see. On my monitor, that purple is very dark--which is why I like it. It's darker than "Barney Purple."
