Throw the stick!!!!
I am a Fuji guy and I still don't care much for that. With that said, I would still ride it any day of the week.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
I used to train in a full mapei kit. I used to be fast too. heh. One of the teammates (four? of us trained in mapei kits) said that he liked the kit because, frankly, "You gotta go fast if you're wearing a clown suit".
I like that bike. I think they need yellow decals for the wheels. But I like that bike.

The graphics on most (not all) road bikes are pretty atrocious to me...include my Tarmac. I wish someone with some insight into the process would shed some light on this part of the process.

It's a Fuji Altamira, not a Fuji Geox. It's an ugly color scheme for the Geox-TMC team, yes, but the bike is fine. The photographer taking that shot with the sand/footprint texture in the background was out of his/her mind. A shallower DoF and a lower camera would have helped immensely. Probably just couldn't think straight with the twisted brain after looking at those colors.

the last two bikes i built i matched the saddle, hoods, and cable housing. in some situations i think it looks better than a matched saddle and bar tape.
the above bike has so much going on matching wouldnt manner. if it were given to me i would change the hoods and cable housing to red. if it's going to be obnoxious, make it obnoxious

The Gold chain gives it a unique accent. Turn the lime green to gold and it might look half way normal.

I'm sure they carefully placed the tire tracks in the sand to gently lead the viewer's eye toward the subject. Or maybe away from it.
And the oil tanks in the distant background offer an industrial park undertone which totally fits with where this bike will be raced by the Cat-4 Masters.

not as ugly as the radioshack madones
like.. the only real catastrophe there is the wheels, and if they got some custom decals for the wheels theyd be fine.
the RS treks are just a total disaster.

Cycling seems to have gone the way of skiing/snowboarding gear and fashion. The more mish mash of colors and designs.....the cooler it is.
