excellant colour choice combo'....  hope you dont mind me saying the colour looks a little dark, and more of a dark metalic blue than candy blue, maybe its the photo's, but it is a bute, my fave bike....

That is effing gorgeous my friend, congrats on having the balls to go through with it when it already looked so nice in yellow.  Looks even better now, and agree one of the best quads ive ever seen.  Perfect colour coding.

I have a candy blue one, exactly the same shade as meticus', and agree this looks darker, although in a good way.  I think the colout is nicer being slightly darker.

Top top marks.

Hmmmm, yeah ... my blue does look a tad different by comparison  :(  though I do actually prefer the darker colour on mine too  :coolsmiley:  :daumenhoch:
