Just off to my LBS so what colour?


I already have a lot of Blue- Don't want white or Red.

No Prizes so just keep you guessing-

Don't even know what it is going to be yet myself but I ordered it and all I have to do is pay for it.

I guess yellow. I was hoping the prize was a trip to England:(

My vote: A nice warm color like orange or maybe copperish.

I like my gray, because it will go with anything, just saying.

When I read the title, I thought you were buying another bike.

Could be. If so, DG will probably vote for white, even if it's off the table--since white is the new black.

Jet nearly wins.

Closest with the copper colour.

Weight-15lbs3ozs
Crankset will be Truvativ compact with 165mm cranks (Currently a standard double is fitted.)
Wheelset Ultegra 6600
Gear train is a mixture of 105 and ultegra (Due to special deals and what I want)
Pedals will be Shimano A520's so none of this Poncy white shoe stuff for me
Aluminium frame
C.F. Forks and steerer
C.F. Micro adjust seat stem


Cost--Retail on this bike as set up is £2,350. I will get a discount but this is a hell of a bike for the money.

Ready next week

That trip to France convinved me that I should get a better bike. The Giant OCR has done me well but I knew it was always going to be a starter road bike, Either I would like to be a roadie or I would be getting a better Offroad bike.

Hey stapfam, that is a very pretty bike, but I was looking for a steel one, and when I saw that Serotta on another post, I think I found the one I want, or to wish for anyhow. I glad for you, that you are getting the one you like, good luck.

Nice looking bike. Is that a shade of silver?

More of a Goldish colour but it is Hard Anodised Bronze- apparantly.

If by chance that bike doesn't work out for you, PM me. I'd like an excuse to visit the UK again. :)

Gold is the new white.
