    I like the way it matches the bow of the barge behind it. Nice touch.

    Are those pivot bolts ok?
    Someone needs to test the warranty claim I think 😉

    Good move using the front garden and not the back garden 😀

    Is the answer not in the question. Don’t own one, but I’d feel a bit weird owning one in any other colour.

    Nice to see plenty of black components. A friend of mine has recently built up an extremely tidy electric blue Five but insisted on putting a load of silver components on it, which is blatantly incorrect.

    Compliments on the colour from the man with the ugliest bike in the world. Time for a respray methinks 😆

    Neon orange with black/silver decals. That’s what I’ll be having next. Might even go for white wheels and blue Hope finishing kit. 😯 8)

    2nd would be neon yellow as sported by the Alpine in the snow on the website.

    Legend> “loving the simplicity”?
    I don’t mean to be facisious, but I’ll say it anyway… How is a CCDB simpler? It does have quite a few settings and i propose that it is MORE complex than a faux/four bar linkage with an RP23 😀

    I’ve always liked the raw finish, although I’m not so sure it was worth the immense effort of getting the paint off…

    Neon Yellow for me… Took a while to make the decision as the colours on the website and example sheets at the LBS look nothing like the final colour…

    Re- CCDB being simple, looks like legend got his from TF as I did, I can honestly say I spent more time setting up my RP23, it’s spot on from the get go.

    I think its great to re-live history,most tin plate toys from the early 20 century , were very brightly painted.
