    I voted 'red' but only because Maroon wasn't a choice!

      color

      I agree with DiverRay,,,,pick out the color you like.....I currently have xs's in burgundy, blue, black, black, brown, white, yellow, and each one is a different look and character. All the same color is kind of boring....I ride the black ones when I feel BADxss, the blue to tour, the red to cruise downtown, the white and yellow for a change of pace. SO,,,,,,pick out what you like since everyone is going to have a diff. opinion on the color. Good Luck, Mike in Sun DIego

        Ohh I plan on painting it a color that I like, I was just seeing what others think the bike might look good as. So far across 2 forums, it looks like most people think Black is the way to go so far. The green I was thinking about isn't even in the running. Black is a good color for the bike, but it's also a stock color. The color I've got my eye on at at the local paint shop is a green so dark that it's almost black until the sun hits it. I guess it's close to British Racing Green (from what I've heard). I still haven't made a final decision, so vote results may or may not sway my opinion.

          Ray... British Racing Green is a dark green but definitely not a black that looks green in the sunlight...so I dont see how the two are even close...

            I'm just running off what a friend told me about the British Racing Green. I have the PPG numbers around here somewhere for the Green I was looking at. Don't know what the 'name' is tho.
