Brownish
Red
Green

I would go with the blue. The brown looks like someone made the bike out of coffee, the green makes it look like a Kawi, the red looks like it's trying to be a Duc. And the blue matches those garbage cans perfectly also! :wink:
Here's a poor attempt to photo shop, but I think this would look pretty good.

Ditto on the blue.

Though driving a coffee bike would be unique.


Vector could you edit that image out of your post? It's killing the tables.
Have fun on the open /¦\

I'd vote red as well... But maybe spray a design onto it, while you're at it. Tiger stripes of something silly.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

WTF is that about? My Little Pony???

This is just so freakin' wierd to even know where to start......

....the time, effort and $$$ to anodize the frame, paint it, hang the do-dads off it..... all to proclaim your loyalty to My Little Pony. Dat ain't right.... that dude has some serious issues to deal with, like he's not really an 8 year old girl...

:laughing: :frusty: :laughing:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Id say either the blue or red, but in a darker shade and metallic.

I think the my little pony bike is a photoshop job, looks a bit "off"

It's definately a photoshop job. You can tell because the top of the picture on the tank does not conform to the shape of the tank. Top of the ponies head should remain proportional to the rest of it, because it should wrap over the top of the tank. It doesn't, it just sits there.

It was remarkably well done though.
