Within the given range, I think the dark red could be the most interesting choice. I always liked the way Kurt's Superior turned out, although it's more maroon than red. Really classy:
That's a very nice bike. Classy indeed.

I probably want something a bit more outspoken but the blue hubs probably betrayed that a little bit.
But a bike with too many in your face bits and pieces is just a mess. So it's a good way to try some things for now and mull over it for later.

Thanks for the input.
