I'd go for the white, did the factory decal set include the 'I Wanna Rock' sticker? It's super cool!
-
That looks lovely :smitten:

Super clean build, I wanna rock !!!
Scoot :daumenhoch:

Nice. I have a Widow Maker on my to do list, when I eventually get round to it. The chrome on mine isn't as nice as this one, so I might get it powdered. What colour did the WM's originally come in other than chrome?

The only painted Widowmaker I've ever seen is this one. I found it years back while searching the web for Widows. I had stumbled on this Canadian girl's Live Journal page with these photos stating that this was her bike she "got from an ex-boyfriend" and that it "supposed to be rare". Myself and Matt tried emailing her numerous times, but she never replied. Sometime last year, she posted another photo of the Widowmaker and said that it had been stolen and to contact her if it's seen(yeah right.). So now the whereabouts of this gem are unknown, except that it's probably still in Canada somewhere and by now has been de-stickered and re-painted.
Note the forks, no welded gusset on the downtube/headtube, and super groovy seat!
