Frame color choice?
Ok everyone's been very helpful helping me chose my first ss/FG. I'm going to order the Kilo TT from BD. My next decision is color. Looks like they have green and orange in my size. I'm leaning toward the orange but I'm 37 years old. I'm no hipster or youngin. I know orange is a safe color as far as being seen but will I be viewed as some creep?

I have been riding a green one, and the green is a brighter Kelly green. It's not exactly subtle either. Have you looked at all the various models of the Kilo TT, e.g. the Stripper?

Just pick whatever one you like the best. Both are pretty "young" colors so people will think you're a creeper either way.
Just kidding. It'd be creeper if you got pink or something. I think orange and/or green are OK.

Lol. Actually I think I'm liking the Raw stripper edition. Won't attract any attention and has a used look.
