The paint scheme of the previous years are head and shoulders above the current one. Maybe in 2015. Still love little bikes!
That's too bad. Especially considering they offer different colors to other markets. Europe gets a pretty cool battleship-grey version... I like the suggestion above to modify it yourself; you could just pull off the fork, lightly sand it and paint whatever color you'd like. The rest of the bike is easy stuff to deal with. Hope the Defy works out well for you.
