That is niiiiiiiccccceeee....
Looks like a Yeti steel hardtail.
See where you are coming from a bit.Looks like a Yeti steel hardtail.
I've just seen that.
I'll be getting a Soul eventually. Was going to go for either Black or Orange but see they have now discontinued the Black.
They're also doing the Soul in Green...
White bars look utter gash.
Looks rather like my Simple from some years back...

The colour of which was inspired by Jenn's Kona - Spitfire's Bottom Ble apparently!
Looks like a generic hardtail frame.
Yeah, but look at the colour 😛
I wish they (or indeed anyone else for that matter) made it with a 12mm rear dropout. Not that it needs a 12mm rear, but if it did I could use my wheels from the AM bike on one of these.
That is very nice.
Or is it really Bianchi blue?
My soul is getting ready for a respray and that looks nice 🙂
Exactly. Does look like Cy consulted a Farrow and Ball paint chart 😀Yeah, but look at the colour
Fair personal opinion.White bars look utter gash.
Looks nothing at all like an Orange R8

Well, maybe a little.

Saw this on the German forum recently. Was surprised at the dropping of Black from the range, but I guess the more colours there are the more stock that needs to be brought in. I guess 3 colours is enough, and all will work with white forks (can't stand black bikes with white forks).
Think I'd prefer BFe green/BFe blue, but tbh that pic up top looks alright.
Glad I've got a black one though.
I hope Cotic are actually using Farrow and Ball paint, with the prices they charge. 😀
To me orange is the only Soul colour, however nice that new colour is. Having said that i always thought blue is the only Bfe colour, but now liking the green.
Nice, but not bendy or turquoise enough to mimick a Yeti.

Any other Farrow and Ball colours worth considering down at the powdercoaters?
Soul is also in BFe green as well as the usual Cotic orange. Just decided to shake it up a bit. Black frame have been really slow selling for about a year now, so gone for the nice colour options.
Very keen to see the green. Although it'd be a daft extravagance to swap a year old black Soul for a green one.
It's interesting isn't it.
When excellence prevails in all the other important features of a frame from all other providers you could choose from, it ends up being colour that sells your product over someone else's.
Souls are nice in the green 🙂

and annoyingly, I was pondering getting my simple resprayed in a blue very similar to that new duck egg colour...
How about a nice powder or shell pink?
The custard yellow was nice too.

I already have one that I love. I'd just like another one, in green, with a Reverb on it.
That blue does goe very well with white. Here is a pic of my Yeti 🙂

29er for you....
Its just an expensive copy of a Saracen...
And, when you look into it, actually inferior at the same time!
I like Souls, but they aren't fillet brazed in the UK are they? 🙂
Wonder how the Cotic wrap would look in Orange, Gulf oil ford GT40 stylee.
Surprised that the black's so out of fashion, to me it's just the Soul colour- wouldn't dream of having one in anything else. (and Roadrats should be poo brown)
PeterPoddy - MemberI like Souls, but they aren't fillet brazed in the UK are they?
Nope, nothing so archaic and outdated 😉 And as for cheap, have people forgotten what the Flyer's supposed to cost? Very nearly 2 Souls.

[/img]Card room green?
Other options: [url= http://www.farrow-ball.com/colours/paint/fcp-category/list ]Farrow and Ball paint chart![/url]
Glad i grabbed my black frame when i did!
Didnt Cy post something about not having black option = commercial suicide a few months back? 😛

But you can't beat the publicity of a Soul in a new colour 😉
If I get one it will be black, just waiting for a latest version in black to pop up cheap.
Soul is also in BFe green as well
Ah crap. Now I have to buy a whole new frame, damnit.
it'd be a daft extravagance to swap a year old black Soul for a green one.
Rubbish. *cough* Anyone want a year old black Soul?
My old Soul looked like this 3 years ago.

2013 Bianchi blue
No more black frames.......!! Shudders.
I would say that blue is very close to Bruichladdich blue. Nice.
Soul is also in BFe green as well
Bugger!

anybody want a 6 month old new style orange one? 🙄
Just bought an Orange last month that still hasn't been fully built yet...wish I had waited for a bit longer...ah well.
The duck egg blue looks vaguely familiar to the Pace Morris Minor blue. Should make into a good looking bike with white fox forks.
I'll be the lone voice and say I hate the colour!
It looks like vauxhall china blue from 1988
Or 1990 groovy teal!
Shocking pink would be good ... 😀
Bianchi blue
That, my friend, is [i]Celeste[/i].
As much as the black souls looked good, the new colour looks better.
Just building up my green soul - http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=4991
Unsponsored - I do not like you....I was 1 month too early in my purchase of a Soul!
TBH - I asked cotic if they were changing the colour...and nothing. Obviously trying to get rid of older stock to make way for new.
Wouldn't mind but respraying invalidates the warranty!
