An 07 Windsor Fens from that hated place. I think the Nashbar Fizik clone dresses it up nicely:-)

I like a good mix of silver and black; and a little white to highlight since the frame stickers are white.

Sorry, no pics to hand, but I did 2 blue paint jobs on my bikes.
My Dawes road bike now has a navy blue frame and black fork. No lettering or stickers
An inexpensive Peugeot 10 speed was repainted with a silver/blue colour scheme that looked nice IMO. It had the bad manners to wait until after all this work was completed before breaking at the rear drive side dropout a couple of weeks after I finished it...

Wow, this thread is old. Don't have to look at the dates to tell with all the blue details to compliment the true blue.
But let's put some new blue bikes on. I'll restart with my Lapierre Xelius "Layla"

2015 Fuji Roubaix 1.1. I have replace the saddle with a black Specialized Toupe, I dislike white bar tape and that is on the short list to be replaced. Non-drive side, sorry
