haha i'm so glad i had to back out on this purchase because this is chaos. you just held what was supposed to be a final poll on the color and you don't even know what colors are possible.

perhaps it was a poll to see "what" people wanted not what was "available" and then they'll go from there- theres plenty of colors out there- are they gonna be powder coated or painted? theres no srb in pc colors, is there?- theres som'n close but not exactly from what ive looked at- whatevz im just sayin thats all- this is chaos and right now thats part of the fun of this b/c ultimately i dont really care what the color is- if i dont like it ill change it my whip is already a metallic sky blue so another one of the similar just makes me want some'n else- thats why i voted flourescent. its 140am

What the hell is with the BRG? it's for cars for god's sake!

Even polished metal got more votes.

That may be but it also has more votes than all of the other colours, sans polished and SRB

This thread makes me want to stab myself in the eyes!

The set up for all of this should have been this: Someone talked to Tony. Picked a color. Picked a frame. Figured out shipping issues. Got a price. THEN come here and said "Here is the deal. This is the price. if we get 50 people it happens. if not. nothing. take it or leave it"

But instead we have IROcluster***2007

+1

But I do appreciate the effort since I was thinking of buying an IRO. My issue now is that even at the discounted price if I get everything else to build up the bike from IRO the price will actually be higher than if I had just purchased the complete bike.

Ah but it's fun to watch

I was vaguely interested in the group buy at the beginning, but I don't really need another frame. Now I'm just enjoying the spectacle.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you would want to paint an American frame in British Green. Maybe you just like dark green? Maybe just call it dark green?

I don't care what color we get. I'm powder coating mine in crushed diamonds. You know, for safety.

i still love it and it would still be my first choice. i definately don't want another poll or new thread, so i hope this doesn't skew too many opinions. but i don't really want boring BRG or bare metal. i would, however, be all over neon green as well

p.s. can we get some more shots of that frame or color?

Remember, if you suckers were set on the metal flake, you can by a clear coat from your Local Auto parts store that has flake and put a few coats on. Be sure to let it fully dry (and you'll have to sand your frame a little to let it stick)

SRB looks dead without the metallic flakes. I don't know it looks like a walmart bike color to me.
Actually, now BRG looks better than this color, specially if you go with the brown leather theme to complement it.

It looks like the offspring of an Il Pompino and a Rob Roy.



The cantis and eyelets are obviously recessive traits though.
