When I thought about building a bike for touring, I thought about something aesthetically pleasing because I'm the one who'd have to endure to look at it.

However, I have urges to build a bicycle that would be like a complete freak bike with purple grips, yellow headset, red seatpost clamp, green pedals, so on and so forth. I don't know why, I think it would be just rad to make one like that. I mean imagine if it had XT parts on it and people just looked at it like: "WTF?!?!" Who knows? Maybe people wouldn't want to steal it.
