bike shedding most boring trend
Here Is the BMC Teammachine SLR01 Disc [1]
which is an example of what I have seen many times now in the "cycling press", and that is to have the frame in one (and only one) bright color, and then everything else in gray or most often black! Very ugly IMO. Black is the most boring and depressing color which is why kids are afraid of the dark and people wear black at funerals. Gray can be a cool color but only in combination with other colors. And why the entire frame in one color? It looks much better to have different parts in different colors, or even several colors intermingling and blending on each part (but not too much). Also, one can mix shiny colors with dull colors, like the down tube dull and the rest satin, or so. Why do people like it like that??

Motorcycle accident statistics hint that a black motorcycle with rider in black leathers is less likely to get a SMIDSY. Cant remember having seen a black bicycle - so there probably isn't any data. |

Black eats light. Girls that feel they are fat wear black. But this only makes them look miserable. And if you wear black all day, this is what you'll feel, right? Cant remember having seen a black bicycle - so there probably isn't any data. Bright colors with clothes look much bigger and is easier to see - no data required. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Sure, if the leathers have "Hell's Angels" emblazoned across the back, otherwise I'm not so sure about that factoid. |

The bigger the item, the more colors there should be. A bike is too big for just one color, if we discount black. Take the Earth from space for example - don't everyone think it looks great? Imagine it was just 2-3 same-colored colors. Ueh! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

As an experiment try asking a random sampling of chaps "How come you married such an ugly woman" as a test of the accuracy of your "eye". You may find that you have over estimated the accuracy of your eyes :-) The bigger the item, the more colors there should be. A bike is too big for just one color, if we discount black.

Because of that it is my preferred 'çolor'. You drive a purple or Kermit green car? Lou |
