Plasma blue is nice, particularly with white forks + rims if you've got them. You'd have to be pretty good to pull off neon pink ๐Ÿ˜‰ So Neon yellow with black bits or Plasma blue with white bits.

As above, you have to be good to pull off neon pink. Neon yellow is wicked with the right colour of components. Had mine done white as I have white forks and wheels, looks ace.

That alpine looks well !! i also like mandarin orange with black decals and forks etc
Neon pink would be hard to live with once the novelty wore off

I love my Neon pink Alpine 160, but got to admit that blue one looks more practical.

Best thing about the Pink on is I've only ever seen 3 other bikes that pink on the mountains/trails. I say go for the Plasma Blue as it looks awesome

Given the picture from Ash above, I would say plasma blue with white bits clinches it.

An Orange should be orange in my book. Mandarin with white decals, white forks and black or white rims to suit your taste. But that blue one looks pretty good to me.

Neon yellow - it glows in the gloom at dusk, looks amazing.

Thanks for the positive comments on my alpine ๐Ÿ™‚

When I was ordering it I was very tempted by neon yellow but I found it a little too bright and I'm definitely not good enough to pull off neon pink so it just had to be blue for me.

Cheers,
Ash

Nope the orange orange was done at Superior Powder Coatings (found them here on STW). Very tidy job ๐Ÿ™‚ Far from a rattlecan!

The pink 222 was done at a paintshop too.

Rode the yellow on a demo day at Biketreks and loved it. The plasma blue looks amazing and the comments above about the pink being hard to live with after a while are so true. Decisions decisions!!!! Aaargggh

Plasma blue is ****. It's a suitable colour for a vauxhall viva, or perhaps an air compressor from Lidl.

The yellow is nice. If it absolutely can't be orange, which obviously it should be, then the yellow is the least disappointing alternative.

Neon Green is the way forward with black components, the photo doesn't do it justice. Had an Apple Green 5 previously. The neon colours look ace
