Touring bike – what colour

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

a darkish green or blue.

sell it as "will respray to your chosen colour"…..

Really? lots of tourers are boring colours.

I was thinking metallic lime green or orange.

thats because they are most popular. just paint it black.

British Racing Green with gold graphics. Classy. 🙂

Was thinking that, but am sending 2 other frames away to get done, and it looks tatty as it is.

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

Seriously do any of you own/want tourers?

Red – it'll make it faaaaaaasssssssssssttttttttteeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr.

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.

I,ve got a thorn xtc in a lovely red colour,paints a bit chippy though!!

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

q for those people that ask useless questions about their bike………

why 😉

BL Allegro biege.

White?

BRG it is.

If I don't make £££ you lot are getting sued 😡

Oh and it's a 57cm adn on my "for sale" thread in the classiflids

understatement of the year there, my xtc loses paintwork if you sneeze near it
