As title really, going to get a frame powder coated but not sure whether or not to go really lairy or a nice subtle colour !!!

Black, maybe with a bit of sparkle.
Lairy gets very tired very quickly.
Apparently I recommend white with red and black bits:
But there's a lot to be said for lairy:

Have a look on the Nicolai website for some inspiration.

That red sparkly is my favourite having re-visited...
I'd say subtle and classy, but then I've got a snot green Kona. So what do I know? ๐
A friend of mine had an NS Surge in a lovely blue colour - sort of similar to a Yeti colour but a bit deeper blue. Really was a nice colour and if I change my Turner I think I'll try it.
