Huh!

Scroll down to the pic of the Diablo and tell me that isn't the worst production
bike color scheme ever.

You're kidding, right? I understand that the Diablo isn't your cup of
tea color-wise - or mine - but it is far from atrocious. I find the
ubiquitous white and black with a splash of red puerile and
offensive. It shows a lack of imagination and a color conservatism
only valued by close-minded engineers, the colorblind and bean
counters.

Yup, their horror home page proves that. Come back Neil Pryde, all is forgiven.

If you click on the Giro D'Italia link on that page you will get to see
a video interview of Andy Hampsten and the actual bike that he used on
his famous win on the Gavia.

Kinda weird that Emerson felt the need to say that Hampsten's bike was
the real deal when Hampsten was standing right next to him. I haven't
been to Boulder since 1980, but I'd like to see that shop. Looks
excellent.

Doesn't count. "Production bike" was specified, and Landsharks
are not production bicycles, the frames are custom and
each paint job is different.

Also, Landsharks are deliberately trying to do ...
whatever it is that the owner of a Landshark knows
he or she is getting into. Like the guy in Big Lebowski
says, at least it's an ethos.

The NeilPryde bike is probably not the worst paint job ever,
but it looks like the work of a Paintjob Committee. "Let's have
a swoop - swoops are fast. Oh, and Bob likes bullseyes.
But let's put it off center so it looks like Pac-Man. And
the Color Committee said purple, pink, and light blue
are this year's colors, so we'll use all of them."

The NeilPryde bike still can't compete with this:

but it doesn't really count as a production bike either
(not a custom, but small frame builder and the buyer
could spec the colors).
