Don't worry too much about the colour, we have the finest powdercoater here on this site.

I've just spent 350 on a new school ride Mirraco blend 2,
and I think it's really well equipt for the money,
although some of the other bikes might be a bit lighter do you think weight or strength is more important ?

rodslovechild · « **Reply #31 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:46 PM »

just bought the colony endeavour, now just need to decide white or black........................who would have thought it could be so hard

pickle · « **Reply #32 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:47 PM »

rodslovechild · « **Reply #33 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:50 PM »

too late dude, now own a colony, cheers for your help tho

rodslovechild · « **Reply #36 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:38 PM »

and its a white one..............

darkersomeday · « **Reply #37 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:39 PM »

i'd be all about the black......

to match my heart

you'll get stick from the old-schoolers though for your bike looking plain and boring

rodslovechild · « **Reply #38 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:43 PM »

ha ha i can handle them, i just wont tell them lol

nooooooooo you shouldnt have said black, its taken me all night to decide and couldnt so went with what the first person on the board said lol, had a look on the colony myspace page and the white does look pretty nice so gonna stick with that for now, be easy enough to change in the future

rodslovechild · « **Reply #43 on:** April 29, 2008, 01:31 PM »

yes mate i got it monday as promised! ive built it up and jus rode to shops etc, feels a lot lot different to my old school bikes, like harder to pull up the front and that, jus gonna keep riding it every day to get used to it for creation where i can make a fool of myself

no such thing dude

it might feel a bit harder to pull up at first, the longer tt will take a little getting used to but you'll progress quicker and your back'll thank you for it

the trade off is also that the shorter rear end will let you pull up and manual easier in time too

what did you go for badass black or clean white?
lets have some pics of this fooker eh???

stevie still owes me a "hand shandy" for the props

pickle · « **Reply #45 on:** April 29, 2008, 01:52 PM »

yeah bang up some piccies

do you have the bars coming back a bit (normally inline with the line of the forks) as this will make it easier.......soory i just have a morbid fear that you've got the bars set at OS postition whi makes for a very skitish front end

rodslovechild · « **Reply #46 on:** April 29, 2008, 01:57 PM »

they are bang in line with the forks mate,, checked out the old fools pics and copied theirs

that initiative for ya

pickle · « **Reply #47 on:** April 29, 2008, 01:58 PM »

good man

it'll feel diferent at first....but after a short while it'll feel like a part of you

lodge · « **Reply #48 on:** April 29, 2008, 02:03 PM »

Very good choice for a first n/s ride.
Has Colony got something to do with Wethepeople? I may have imagined this.

rodslovechild · « **Reply #49 on:** April 29, 2008, 02:19 PM »

colony use wethepeople rhombus grips, im sure one of the others can tell you if there is a bigger link
