3Rensho blue was just suggested recently by one person. Now it's one of the "most popular colors".

I personally don't like it.

Olive Drab was mentioned by a few posters, it's not even there.

Is this the end of having a few colors? Is it going to be one color determined by the poll(pole) majority?

I think that ended a long time ago. Its hard to keep up for sure. To choose a new color there must be a run of 25 at least. I think.

a few colors is gonna be really hard, to have 3 different colors we would need 75 buyers, and just to get out of this standstill we are going majority rules.

Yes it is possible to have a different color for the mark V but we dont have enough people to even mix and match yet, and to simplify things it seems one color for all is right ,I am thinking that some of the people who vote for the winning color will have asked for a mark V so it is more of a common consensus then angus and mark V being seperated

Rensho blue or BRG all the way. If it turns out neon I won't care, I'll get it repainted.

We can always have another "pole" to narrow it down. And include olive drab. I tried my best, and poll options were limited to 10.

san rensho blue would be amazing.
I kinda think on a non lugged bike it might just look like a fuji , winsor, or motobecane.
I think a simpler color on a simple frame works better................

................unless of course its a heavy gold fleck.

but thats just the blingy hipster from lowrider country coming out.

just my opinion

So there is 112 people that voted so far. That's funny, I didn't see over a hundred people say they were in for the deal on the other thread. I hope people that don't intend on participating in the group aren't voting. Here comes the sarcasm...I'm sure people wouldn't vote unless they were going to get one of these in the group.

If we're going to choose one color for us all, a better solution must be made to get that info.

I voted for a color but didn't say I was in, since the color may very well determine whether or not I get one (for instance, I'm not going to get a white, non-lugged bike (again)).

I have not voted for anything or said I was in for anything, but I probably am. This whole process seems like a little bit of a cluster so far so Im just sittin back to see what the outcome is. If I like it, Ill get one. If I dont I wont....

..and then the multiple voting option means... multiple voting. If 30 people vote and they all like 4 colours each, then you'll have 120 votes on the graph.

BTW, anyone have a link to what "reflective black" looks like on a bike? Or an anecdotal story? I'm not in, just curious. I'll have to have a reflective black bike sometime if it's any good.

If after all the votes are tallied, and we could get a SR blue Angus, I'm still in. Reflective black would still be sick.

If it's only Mark Vs, though, I have to fold.

There is a clearcoat that has flake in it, so if Tony can't get metallic flake in the paint, you can go to your LAPS (Local Auto Part Store) and buy it. I'll ask baldylocks what its called if you guys are interested.

I like the way you feel

for me the bare metal goes nicely with my intentions to really abuse the frame for all it's worth

and if I feel so inclined, a poorly done rattle can job just to give it that extra touch of, "hey, I paid less than a bill for this ride"

simple tubes, simple color!

I posted in the other thread, that we have(then) 25 people who vote for Bare Metal and coated. It was understood that if 25 people voted on a particular color, it would be run. As of now, there are 27 who wanted BMC. If we can get all of them to commit, we got it!

-mix and match but no less than 25 of one frame ,
-custom color is a go, but only one color(could be different colors on the mark Vs and anguses if we wanted to but not a custom color for each person)
-standard shipping(which is a very good thing) about $30 to the west coast and like 18 to the east

it was not understood, it was speculated. by someone who had not spoken with tony. tony's words were 1 color per frame. i'm pulling for bare metal as well, but if it does not win i will accept that.
