    Neither do I.

    It's very easy to say "you don't get it" when somebody doesn't agree with your taste, but it's meanigless. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You like it, which is great. However I doubt many people would see it as any more than an ordinary paintjob.

    The choice of "colour" is uninspired, the design is clunky and more than a little fussy in places. 4/10. Must try harder. In all fairness a bicyle frame is a different thing to paint in new and interesting ways, I can't think of any designs I've seen which I would consider inspiring. The one thing that will improve almost any design is removing the decals and stripes, something this design has in spades.

    black and white, perfect combination for bikes, football strips and stranglers albums, especially if you got the free single.

    Nice - not quite as classy as white panels on solid colour IMO
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I have to agree - 'eye of the the beholder' and all that,
    but not very inspiring, if paint shops can do it, why can't the major manufacturers?

    anyone remember the Kleins from the 90's/00's before Trek got hold of them?

    Hehe. I agree, it's ridiculous machismo styling and I hate it. I call it Power Ranger Syndrome. Lots of things suffer from it - mobile phones, some cars, most motorcycles, most bicycles, even razors.

    I think it would be better with just the seattube and a smaller downtube sticker. I'm not a fan of the lugs at all. It's not nearly as bad looking as most racing bikes though.
