I have a friend in my town doing Car stuff, Motorcycle frames and things for the Coast Guard. If I leave a small project with him and just wait until a bigger job using that color comes in , the power to heat the oven to melt the power is the biggest cost, so my piece is cheaper, but , sometimes it sits there for months.. Of course, if you Pay the Regular Price , it gets done quickly.. ... |

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...21e3a9d3e.jpeg I named the color of my 2009 Randonee "slime green," though I grew to tolerate it. This must be "bright slime green," and I can't see ever tolerating it. |

Seriously ; What were / are they thinking ?
|
|
Really like the color. Celery green? Anyway, black and grey bikes .... so tiresome
|
It's starting to grow on me .

It looks close to ANSI lime green. Of course frame surface area is inadequate to present "high visibility" to any motorists, but a set of hi vis Ortliebs would help. Cheaper option which would be equally helpful is an ANSI green long sleeve shirt and the brightest taillight you can afford.

Well I kinda like it. There I said it. Ha Actually it is no uglier than many of Surly's previous color schemes they have come up with over the years. I've never understood why they can't give their frames a better paint job. It can't be that much more expensive and lord knows they're now asking enough for their complete bikes that they could afford a metallic paint job, maybe in a deep British emerald green. (if you're listening out there Surly)

Much as I love my LHT, the factory paint was ugly. Surly called it Khaki, but it looked like baby diarrhea brown. I finally took it to a local powder coating facility and had it stripped and redone in a metallic red.
It baffles me why Surly always choose such hideous colors. Anybody here have a theory? |

having a variety of colors and sizes stocked in the warehouse would add to the cost you would have to pay..
Go full custom and you have more options.. |
