I am about to get my tourer (steel Hewwit, with disc mounts) resprayed to sell - what colour would go down best do you think?

Really? lots of tourers are boring colours.

I was thinking metallic lime green or orange.

Only got black transfers. Would be stealthy with the black paint mind 😉

Seriously do any of you own/want tourers?

cant bear to see this thread go through ten posts without someone pointing out how completely pointless disc mounts are on a tourer.
you can get more than enough power from cantis with the advantage that you can fix them anywhere in the world.

Yep, mines black :0)

Disc's work better in the wet for starters (should point out im a happy canti user so im not biased) and exactly how many tourers go 'anywhere in the world'? id guess not that many, since all the people i know with them are mostly used locally or for an ocasional holiday in scotland or doing the C2C.

Brown. Tourers always like the brown.

Flick through a 70s car catalogue. Tourers are always harvest gold or emerald coloured.

What size is it?

Dark blue, dark red or dark green.

Tourers are not for fancy bright colours they should look classy, not flashy.

My personal preference would be the dark blue, but then I'm not going to buy it
