What colors of Newbaums? I need a couple opinions.
I'm about to do a massive Newbaums order to outfit everything for the season. I have both clear and amber shellac, if the amber is still good that is.
Not sure if I want "grass green" or something completely contrasting. Ideas?
Red. Or maybe maroon. Also thinking about some cheap red housing.
I know it came with white, but considering one of the blues? Light blue?
sorry no full bike. Classic orange Raleigh International. White or something else?

Black is never wrong. Other colors may be right (I've used red, blue, white and yellow at various times with good results) but black is never wrong.

If you search eBay for "Newbaum's 2" (as in, 2 rolls for under $16 shipped), you'll see seller, trailthis. I would just put everything under one invoice so you only have one simple package delivery.

Maroon with a maroon Brooks saddle would be 👌on the Laing.
I went with Newbaums khaki on my green bike. It has a hint of green in it.

Green bikes with red or brown handlebars have been nice these days.
The raleighs with white, although black would be OK. Maybe red on the pro.
For the tan bike I think black.

I agree black works no matter what but I decided this year what the heck, let's go with colors...
Teal on the Pro...
Orange on the Champion Team, grass green on the Pinarello, and eggplant on the Le Champion...
