It's definitely unatttactive. Still, the nasty green bits won't affect its performance.

I was reading the Gypsy by Trade blog a year or two ago, when I was in rhe market for a new bike, and saw a pic of the author's Surly Pugsly in some awful shade of purple/pink. I wondered how he could ride a bike that looked like that, a purple/pink frame with fatbike fenders made from old plastic real estate lawn signs.

I realized he didn't care, he just needed a bike to ride and he didn't have to look at it while he was riding it.

It made me think that I probably needed to be a little less judgemental about bike colors and appearances. That said, it is hard to see the bikes behind the Radioactive Giant 2018 Green "highlights."
