Wow... so how I have two votes for keeping the orange color... Unfortunately, the stripping process has already begun, so there's no going back... but now I'm maybe regretting the repainting part a little. Part of the reason I wanted to repaint was for the experience and partly because my other bike is bright yellow and two obnoxiously colored bikes was just too much to stand. lol.

Any opinions on color? I'm thinking either a dark hunter green, deep red or white. I also want to do the lugs in a contrasting color, or at the least detail the lines on the lugs. The rims are going to be black and the brakes and brake levers black as well... they are already purchased, so there's no changing those.
