Blue should be your primary color, and use grey for some kind of pattern. No flames, thats too gay on a bike.

pink and white...

on a more serious note, if you know anyone that works in a body shop, that would be the place to go...they could airbrush your bike, probably do a really nice custom job.

I had one of the original Chrome Moly-framed Mongooses when I was a kid. With some nylon 5-spoke SkyWay 'Tuff Wheels' it was freggin' indestructible! (Yes, this is fact rather than opinion ~ I tried to tear it up and couldn't) It was heavy as all getout...wouldn't have wanted to try and use it for a racer of any kind but it was great for a rambunctious (sp?) kid to tool around the neighborhood on.

I'd go with a monochrome paint job (blue, grey, whatever's your preference) IMO bicycles with fancy paintjobs, excepting show bikes, just look silly.

well i want it to be like a show bike/everyday bike i want it to look nice but i still want to use it every day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif
