I'm looking to buy one, but all I find is black. Is the green a older model? It's so nice. Thanks.

Did you say that in an old guy- japanese accent? They're all over Velospace in green. I want one so bad. Black is tight too. Stealth--

My prob with my green one is that there are logos EVERYWHERE and they don't follow the same style. With the black you can tape it off and all is cool. With the green it'll stick out.

green tape


and i'm thinking of painting my bike that chamelion color like the anchor someone posted up. hell yeah. if i did that i'd probably get a sealed headset shorter stem and a nicer seatpost and some 165 rd cranks. then i'd be in business.

i swear this **** never ends it's an addiction.

that paint is crazy expensive, or at least it was a few years ago when a friend's dad (who runs a body shop) painted his golf cart with it. so ****ing badass and ridiculous. not sure it would be worth it on a kilo though if you had to pay full price.

they make little diy spray kits now for like twenty bucks, but i don't know if just one would cover a bike. probably get two or three kits and some heavy ass clearcoat. then again, it's probably still less expensive than powdercoat even if it's not a hundredth as durable. the other option would be some crazy ass powdercoat that leaves a really metallic finish.
