Burnt orange. Colors like that are striking in the city but fit right in in the wilds. I love my gray/orange Hunqapillar scheme. With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 6:23:36 PM UTC-6, hsmitham wrote: > > Hi Bunch, > > New to me Atlantis and having it painted and need you opinions o

To me, an understated color scheme is desireable on a touring bike. Given the above choices, I'd go with the pea soup. dougP On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 5:23:36 PM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: > > Hi Bunch, > > New to me Atlantis and having it painted and need you opinions on which > color to go

I like the green but think it needs a cream head tube. The green would look great in the woods. The orange is sweet too, though I agree, it is flashy. FWIW. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this gr

If it was my bike, burnt orange. It is not over the top and it doesn't look bland like the sage green. Of course it has to have the cream accents for the contrast. On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 8:23:36 PM UTC-4, hsmitham wrote: > > Hi Bunch, > > New to me Atlantis and having it painted and need

My first suggestion would be black. Like the one Jim Thill used to have. Add the cream headtube and it would be nice and elegant. Otherwise, a green like the olive drab Surly has used on the Long Haul Trucker in the past. Or on the new Pugsley Ops. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Tue, Oct 29, 2013
