Color, color, color

[Catrin]

Catrin, the group leader of my Tuesday morning all-female training group rides a Lemond race bike that is a deep metalic purple (no pastel shading at all) with logo lettering in yellow, handlebar tape in yellow and tires with a yellow stripe. The contrast of colors on her bike looks real good and the yellow gives her road visibility. You might think about yellow on your bike.

Purple is a beautiful color on a bike, and not very common. I am confident you will love the color when you get the bike.

Thanks Darcy - I am thinking that a flash of yellow will compliment it - but I want to actually SEE it first before I make my mind up. So far I've only seen a couple of inches of tubing peeking out of the packaging. They are wise in not wanting to unpack it until they are ready to put it together! I suspect the only accessory that I might add that won't be black would be the saddle bag...

It sounds like my frame's color is quite similar to your group leader.
