    Beautiful Colors

    I will be putting my deposit down on my Gunnar Sport in just under three weeks and am starting to think about color since I've probably settled on the Sport (once we make certain the geometry will work for me).

    While pink isn't my favorite color, I found this Roadie in pink - isn't it beautiful!



    While the pink is beautiful, this is even more attractive to me, I like the strong combination of red and black:



    This is a beautiful color as well:



    This red is to die for:



    I found all of these images by looking for a particular picture of a beautiful 2-tone blue with swirls that I've found in the past. Decisions decisions, I WILL have to tell them what color I want, after all

    yum yum! Don't you have to pay extra for non current colors? I'm not a big fan of any of the current colors. These colors here are lovely!!

    You're right, they are all beautiful colors. It will be a hard choice. But picking the color is part of the fun of going custom.

    Yes, you do have to pay extra for something other than the current colors - which I am not a fan of. There are a variety of options, everywhere from $75 extra for a recent monthly color, to $275 for a 3 color fade from the full Waterford palate and everything in-between.

    There are recent colors that I will certainly consider. Orange isn't one of my normal favorite colors but they have an Orange glow over sterling silver that is nice (5/2010) a Cinnamon candy over copper (2009), and assorted pearls. I suspect that I will settle on one of their recent colors, they are all available back until 2003. Sadly I can't provide links to the individual colors...anyway, I love rich vibrant colors

    If I HAD to choose today, it would probably be either the Pearl in Black or the Purple Pearl, or the Candy Plum over Charcoal Silver. See, it is GOOD I have three weeks in which to make up my mind

    Oooh, pretty! I'm partial to the pink, of the ones you have pictured. The green next. Not a big fan of red or black, but that's just me. Know you'll pick exactly the right color for you. What fun!!

    I wish that I could link to the Pearl in Black or the Purple Pearl, they are quite striking - more so than the ones I did post

    i am looking forward to seeing photos of YOUR bike when it is done being built and you have it! and hearing how it rides

    i like the green but green is my favorite color. i love the red and black but i would never have a red bike myself. it is striking though.
