My only problem with it is its paint on carbon – why:-)

Probably to placate all the people on here who moaned about the look of the raw carbon C456.

get some Orange rims and you have a winner

especially if it pisses off the dullards.

So thats what you call people with taste [/quote]

people with taste / sheep, it’s all the same thing

Obviously you need to pay more attention.

I want to try a 29er, would like a dropper post (that isn’t going to break) and I thought tubeless was more hassle than its worth. I also like bright colours, but like NW said, when thats built up it will look shit.

Shocking I know, but some people actually have different opinions.

We just call you tasteless.

I see your tasteless, and raise you a sense of humour

That’ll be Delia Smith’s Christmas present sorted, then.

Needs building with all black kit.

Or, just go mad: multicoloured spokes and nipples, with mismatched rim and hubs; clashing saddle, grips, stem, etc. Like someone ate a pack of highlighter pens and then puked on a rainbow unicorn dressed by a colour blind Gok Wan.

I want it to offend as many naysayers as possible, I want them to vomit from 200yds…

Wouldn’t be offended, nor vomit. I would only be laughing that someone actually bought one.

So if I wanted one of those whippets and I wanted to use my Truvativ Stylo chainset how would I go about it. I’m only running a single ring so the angle grinder would take care of the fouling issues with the bottom bracket shell but how would I get it to work with the BB92.

I would only be laughing that someone actually bought one.

Laughing at someone because they like something you don’t like. Intelligent.

This is what I was thinking. Black everything and just let the frame, erm, speak for itself.

Just seen this. I’ve got a C456, in black.

I think I would be afraid to take it out of the garage if I had one of those!!

Hum, not sure on the colour, would have to see one built before making my mind up.
Someone said cheap internet? If cheap rides like a C456, then I’m happy to have saved a few quid and have a massive grin after every ride 😀

I know, it is intelligent. Thank you.

Not too keen on the Whippet, but the RT57 looks stunning in that colour scheme. Also would help you be seen on the road. Wish I had the money for a road bike lying around…

heavily reduced single speed whippet on the On One site in that colour:

Nothing wrong with clashing colours! Besides, most people play it fairly safe, like at home, with magnolia walls.

How many people have really examined colour theory here? Complementary colours don’t mean the colours necessarily compliment one another, rather two complementaries contain a full complement of primaries. Red and green can look awful, or it can make a Matisse painting sing! Red, green, white and yellow may sound silly, but it can make a Lancia Italia sting!

Quite.

i like it 😀 😯

I like it too. That’s no great recommendation btw 😉

Well you can pretty much guarantee that no-one would try to steal it, which is a bonus.

When are the glow-in-the-dark pompinos coming back btw?

yuk!

I like it. It’s brave, different.

Does the paint on a Carbon 456 not look nice? I was quite liking the red..

When are the glow-in-the-dark pompinos coming back btw?

Paint colour discontinued.

The radiation affecting the workers production rates ? 😉
