Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Which artwork do you prefer? need opinion before I blow my brains out

So, I'm pretty undecided again on the artwork for one of our frames. Let me know your views.



Simpler



Sexier (?)

I've spent the whole day on these, and can't reach a consensus. All views appreciated.

I like the sexier version more.

I hate when a frame has added colors that take up a small amount of space on the frame.

I like the secpnd sexier version it looks more balanced or finished. the other looks less busy maybe though, so it's wahever you are after.

My vote is for the second one as well, it looks better because there's a finished quality to it unlike the first one which looks like no one could figure out what other colors to add.

not that you asked, but...

"Trinity" and "Liberty" are not two words I would place at the top of my "Want displayed on my frame" list

I like the first more, but only slightly.

Very nice design work btw and I like the coloured inside surfaces.
