Does Anyone Own a Burgundy Clockwork?

I'd love to see some pictures. The ones on their website make it look black. See their pictures here.

Got Burgundy Windsor Clockwork?

The Clockworks are a relatively new addition... I haven't heard tell of anyone owning a burgundy one yet.

The Burgandy is very hard to photo and show it's true impact
and in-doors it is very dark
BUT in Sun Light this is a great looking bike - very lively for a dark color
Rich with a bit of sparkel

Much more of a 'Guy' color, if that makes sense
Guys in the office love it; girls not so much

The Orange is great; if you like a loud color
Very lively looking, I really like that too

Truth is: our biggest selling 'color' is Black
But I happen to like Colors - Orange, Grape, Yellow, and I really like two tone Red or two tone Blue -- but that is not too popular today

If you like Orange; you will like this Orange

retail sucks man. i've been doing it over 12 years now. i am glad i am only part time at it these days. but that has only been for 3 months now. good luck, dealing with the masses.

does anyone know if you can successfully mount fenders on this frame? i'm looking for a commuter and this bike looks perfect, but i can't tell if there is a chainstay bridge or not, which is important for mounting fenders

thanks

I have one and I love the color. when the light or sun isn't hitting it it has a brownish black look to it, but when the light is on it the burgundy comes out with a hit of purple almost.
Here's some pics from when I first got it.

lol, I was trying to take it so you could see the sparkle in it. But for real no matter how it looks there, it really looks a lot like that in person. I've yet to take it out on a nice sunny day since I got it, feels like its been over cast since last fall...
