I agree -- what's wrong with green? I have a shamrock green '97 Breezer Storm with over 30,000 miles on it (I use it as a daily commuter for a 100 mile/week commute). Not only do I like the color, but I love the scalloped design of the top tube and down tube. Total retro look. And yes, the green makes me go faster

Last week I placed an order for an Apple Green Santa Cruz Blur. I'm getting the wheels laced with green nipples and green Chris King hubs. Everything else will be black.

I have a Ti hardtail and it doesn't do anything for me, colorwise. Love the bike, but the color is bleah. Yeah, I know that's what distinguishes a Ti bike, but I like vibrant colors. When Retro Grouch said that women are more selective, it might be that color selection seems to be aimed more towards men's tastes. At least that's what I've noticed. I'm not into the matte blacks, gunmetal grays and silvers.
