I was all ready to have mine powder coated in Ford Peppermint Green, when Michelin stopped making matching tyres! So now it's just as it ever was and still rusty.

Chocolate brown with either lime green or baby blue graphics. Actually, how about chocolate brown with lime green one side and baby blue the other? Quirky and stylish. Very 'fixed'. Just be careful and get the brown right. You want a deep, dark syrupy brown, not a horrible mid jobby brown. I could even knock together the graphics for you that you could get a local signwriter to cut in vinyl.

It'll work. Trust me, I'm a designer

i'd go for the rust brown as peejay suggested - that'd be cool.

you could finish it with this saddle:

er...

i was being a little bit facetious when i said "rust coloured brown", bearing in mind that's the colour of the 2007 langster.

i say dark blue. midnight blue.

daowned

gkerr4

er..

yeah - i think I knew that - having traded numerous comments about your favourite rusty langsters with you on this and other forums...

In the past a friend of mine had is bike 'resprayed' in a bare metal colour. He had it sandblasted then laquered.

yeah, rusty brown, or maybe black with gothic silver lettering.

Its alluminium so you can get it annodised, much lighter than paint, shiny too. Try racing green with brown finishings (saddle n tape).
