[Closed] Solaris frame colour?

Blue, same as the current BFe isn't it? Liked my BFe colour before i sold it!

Think it is yes. Love the blue - just something about the orange though. (matches hair colour maybe!!)

Sounds like you've already decided! 😉

I have. Both ways. Several times!!

Orange.

When I bought my soul way back when, the choices were black or orange. Mrs "Credit Committee" North's OK for me building the bike was that the frame be black. Always wish I'd got the orange.

You know what you have to do.

The orange is great. Just wonder if after a while it may seem a bit too, well, orange...

Or, every time you see it, you'll smile and think "Time to ride..!"

The orange is being ditched soon in favour of an ace green.

The green is good but too long to wait.

Orange. 100%.

Me, I'd wait for the green.

Me, I'd wait for the green.

I'd wait too. Unless I was in the position to actually buy one, in which case there's ZERO chance I'd have the patience.

Alright - CAN'T wait for the green as have to get it in next four weeks - just how it is.

So blue or orange?!

The blue's surprisingly lovely in the metal.

I had the same dilemma. I kinda pre-ordered a blue one then changed my mind.

I am waiting for a green one.

Except that I've also bought an orange one...

I have seen the blue in the flesh too (side by side even) and I can honestly say I prefer the orange. I could just about make do with the orange too, except that my mate is taking the orange off my hands and I've half a bike bought for him already....

I don't think you'd be disappointed with orange.

If you like orange 🙂

Orange with black forks, blue with white forks.

Orange with black forks, blue with white forks.

An excellent point well made, sir.

There's your choice made for you right there 😉

Hmm best find out what colour the forks are! Reba RLT 2012 - anyone know??

A quick google would suggest white....

Hmm just tried that too, looks like it might be blue and white. Will check.

Will post some pics once I get it via those nice folk at 18 bikes!

Do like that orange one metalheart

The next batch will be coming in Green, like this one [url= http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/fresh-goods-friday-150/ ]here[/url]. I'd be waiting for that I think. Although the blue is lovely too.

If it helps there's a pair of white reba rl's going on it for my mate.

He has an orange soul with white SID,S which he loves, so it works if you want it too 🙂

July before the green batch is due though.

True, depending on how it rides next week at the Demo, I'll decide whether that'd be too long to wait or not.

Orange and white FTW. It is very orange, but I'm not bored of walking past it in the hall yet. Be bold.

Are any pics of that green one built up anywhere ?

Hey Paul how's things... there will be in about 4 months time 🙂

Orange. Looks lovely in the flesh.

The green trumps both the orange and blue

I agonised for ages about colour. Blue is better in the metal too.

Green not an option. Again! Toss a coin? What made you go blue scienceofficer?

In the end, the toss of a coin!

Having seen them both, I honestly don't think that you'd be [i]un[/i]happy with [i]either[/i] colour.

If they only came in blue, I'd still've been happy with it...

Its pretty much a win-win situation.

Its really not worth all the agonising, the bike is the main thing 🙂

I went by component and fork colour, I think the blue suits white forks and silver bits better.

(Although I now have a black crank, post and fork now 😳 )

Going hooPs/xt/haven carbon so mainly black stuff.

Orange prob nudging ahead in preference.

As above, guess the rides more important than colour!!!

Hmm. Went blue in the end after a trip to 18 bikes to look at both.

Just got to wait for the build now and go collect it.

Thanks Si and 18.

Good choice, photos don't do the colour justice 8)

The blue does look good

Can't wait, first new mtb in 12 years (excluding 150 quid on second hand io singlespeed)

Will post some pics when collected...
