No ... I'd go with Sierra Brown, but if you're looking at resale, the Flamboyant Red, Black or Silver Mist would probably be better choices.

Did you wear gloves when handling the white bike? I think that's the nastiest bike I've ever seen.

I can't wait to see the after photos. I don't think it could ever be a white bike again after the way it was treated.

Congrats on both finds!
