Just to add my worthless ridicule, when I read brown….🤮🤮🤮 but then I remembered I have a brown bike🤣🤣. Cand Kent Brown is a nice colour. Nice change after white for 30 years. Each to their own Ted. 😉

Nowt wrong with a bit of brown but that blue takes a bit of beating
K2-K6:
For me it's that the frame is no "looker" in design or detailed execution, and doesn't need attention drawing to it.

To demonstrate framework
The bikes are lovely looking and fabulous as a whole, but having frame lighter than the paintwork just seems to draw attention to the less aesthetically appealing aspect.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You make a good point K2-K6 about a lighter colour drawing attention to the frame.
I think I got away with it on my 400 but the 500 especially if it ever gets the original silencers is a very different kettle of fish.

I like Apple Candy Red and Black. I take the frame tomorrow to the painters. Gawd knows what I will chose they have some colour samples so I might find something else or go for BB.
