Take it out for a good ride on a muddy day and it won't matter what colour it is. Problem is with a colour like that, I wouldn't clean the bike.

I don't care about the looks. I care bout performance. In this case, it's bearable.

Guys, we're mtn bikers! How could we degrade ourselves from butt kicking fun mountain biking to duscuss how paint schemes are ugly. Shame on yall. Just kiddin.

Such sick bikes.....I know a kid that bought a Nicolai frame, long wait time for them, also some of the most expensive bikes. You guys sound like chicks though, who cares about the paint?! I bet it rides sweet, and youd never bust that thing.....I think the color would grow on you though.

I like my color Kona...I dislike the 2005 Kona hoss dee-lux color though, the main reason I went after an 04 model.

Yeah the multi colour puke fest. Good thing their bikes are strong and last through abuse, otherwise they are tough to swallow sometimes.

Konas aren't that bad. They don't exasperate the problem by splattering several ugly colors on one bike.

11-13-04, 12:57 PM
yeah they just stick with one solid ugly color :)

I'm with hooligan performance is much more important then looks but I dont think that I would be able to ride that, but if its strong enough I would ride it no matter what the looks. But none the less its still really really ugly, what bike company is that anyways?

Yea it kinda looks like that. Might also be able to be called a train wreck, or maybe some one just threw a couple buckets of paint on it.

ah well, if that was a REpaint, it's a question of taste :)

but like they say, its about performance in the end.

I guess you could always have it stripped and repainted... if you have enough money for that bike, you should have enough for a new paint job. :)
