Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Who makes orange fixed frames?

you can get an orange motobecane from Bikesdirect.

you can also paint any frame that you might like.

KHS did the Flite in orange for a while.

But as Batson says, you could get a frame powder coated/enamelled pretty cheap and you wouldn't be picking a bike solely on its colour.

Iro makes the Angus in orange this year

find a frame you love then powder coat it
most orange frames have a real lax road geometry
not because they are orange, but its just is that way

i think the new kilo tt will be available in orange.

milwaukee (always) and IRO (for now) are the 2 i thought of.

Merckx used to be famous for their orange. Torelli makes really nice orange bikes too.

I heard the new IRO Mark V Pro's are going to come in orange. I was going to wait for a local LBS to get them in, but bought a yellow frame instead.

ORANGE FTW

That orange had nothing to do with Eddy. It was the color of the teams sponsor, Molteni sausage. The orange "Molteni" painted frames have been made by Colnago, De Rosa, Falcon, Windsor, and probably others.

You should pair your orange frame with black components and make a sick jack-o-lantern bike.

iro! iro!

how much would it cost to get a frame and fork powder coated?

i guess it kinda depends on where you go but i don't see it costing more that $150. I've had friends that had their car wheels powdercoated for $100

KOGA, or anything else raced by the Dutch national team.

i know it has been mentioned already, but if you're really into an orange frame, go for the iro angus, it has reynolds 631 tubing and the geometry of those bikes is nice

Cheapest way to go AND it's OSHA approved.

panasonic dos

brooklyn i think

rivendell Quickbeam

so, you would buy a bike based on color?

so, you would buy a bike based on a small stamp on the bottom bracket shell?

Would a auto body shop do it?

safety first!!

you can contact GUNNAR...thay may do it in Orange for you at very very little extra cost, buts its more steep than a bikes direct bike...

The Milwaukee comes in orange as people have mentioned, and it's a great frame built by Waterford which would be another reason to get it. I just was at their store on Saturday and it's a great bike. The Standard frameset is road geometry and the Cream City is true track geometry and it's a very noticeable difference when they were side by side. The kicker I like about them so much is that the text is raised and polished, as well as a raised and polished silhouette of the state of WI. Nice details.

EDIT: I just looked on their ebay store and it looks alot different there than the one I saw in store. The details I mentioned are what I saw in person, the painted logo and headtube on the ebay store is different. Oh well. nice bike anyways...if you're close to Milwaukee, it's worth a trip to look at them in person.

safety first!!

Is it that easy? Spray paint?

Do you have to strip the existing paint?

You really should strip, prime, and paint; I just striped and primed an older road frame this weekend. My advice: take it to an body shop. They can do a faster and better job than someone with little/no experience.

If you are painting a new frame that was just painted from the factory and want to change it, there is no need to strip it down all the way to the bare metal. Using the existing paint is a good base for new paint as long as you roughen the surface evenly with a 400 grit paper so it can adhere to the paint better. Stripping down an older frame makes more sense because usually there are lots of scratches or even rust that you'd want to get off. IF you want to take the time, I would sand the surface of the existing new paint, prime with a few coats, do a light sanding with a 600 grit and then spray your top coat followed by clear coats. If done right, a spray bomb can look really good. Depending on where you live, you can buy high quality paints from auto parts stores, but places like Home Depot or Ace Hardware usually stocks krylon or rustoleum paints.

FWIW, you can get a good powder coat done for about 75-100 bucks and some places will include chemically stripping the paint and you can choose the color you want. Then you have a really durable finish for riding on the street.

I don't have the OG picture anymore... but here's my Iro Angus I got 2 years ago.
