You could clean your white windsor. Just wipe it down after you ride it before the gunk dries on.

Here's 2 versions of my white bike.

Is a white bike considered bad luck?

I was thinking about building a white frame with white wheels, but it seems kind of spooky now after seeing pictures of these ghost bikes.

Hmmm... now that I look at these photos, and see my signature pic, the original Schwinn Madison was a bit of an Obamabike!

After you die they don't spray paint your clothes white or chain your bride to a lamp post with your picture hanging off of her. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it's just not done.

So the comparison to ghost bikes doesn't totally work.

Umm, what? I didn't say that the color white creeps me out. But now the thought of riding a lookalike ghost bike does.

But Hey, I'm just going by what you wrote, I'm not a mind reader.

hahaha wow. Don't try too hard now. You don't have to be a mind reader to realize I'd be RIDING this bike, not wearing it as a jacket or a hat or whatever the **** you had in mind

Cream coloured bikes are nice – off-white. Like the mildly famous Penny on velospace. Maybe that's "beige"... who cares? White-white's kind of... too white?

it's the matte white i believe, i actually didn't get to choose. I asked him if he had any with paint defects) and this was the one he had so i got a good deal on it. It just has a few bubbles on the seat tube. I'm lovin it though, a blast to ride.

My white bikes... are geared.

my commute bike was white and it got really dirty really quickly, especialy the stays. if that doesnt bother you then go with white. or use some decent mudguards.

definatly dont get those white vittoras, they look great when theyre freshly put on, but after two or three rides they will be yellow and skanky looking.
