1992 called, they want their paint color back...dondon said:
hmm, i have some day-glo laces that would match-up well

more like 1972
interesting seatpost configuration, is that to prevent tire buzz or for a shorter cockpit?
Ewwww
Actually, that would be 1982 to be exact.freeridebiker21 said:more like 1972
Once had a surfboard airbrushed with that color. Went well with my pink and white wetsuit
:love:

Hey There, Actually its @ Livigno, Italy W.C.Acadian said:
I kind of like the green it goes with his green goggles and monster hook up. Green is next years pink
Ya, i heard Dakine was bringin back the neondondon said:
AHAHAHAHAHA!MikeD said:
Not only that, but wouldn't it be cool if a tire company would step forward and make a tire wide enough to fit it, like maybe around 3"??? It could be the heaviest tire ever, with sketchy traction, and the best part is you could run it at like 8psi, which would allow you to dent your neon-green rims to hell!!!
Ohh MikeD, you crack me up.
No doubt.
Yet they never fail to amuse me.MikeD said:
Look at it this way, with screaming colors every magazine-reader and movie-watcher will KNOW every time a IH-bike flies by. Maybe that's the point?
DH frame manufacturers should concentrate on getting their product to be first one to cross the finish line, instead of painting them in eyeball-melting neon colors.
The IF is a winner already though, so I see they went the extra mile to get their bike noticed

...I must be the only one who kinda likes it
It is a little garish, though...

why do you think it's green?? it's scientifically proven by sam himself that green is 5 seconds faster. while it was previously thought that yellow was the fastest, through extensive testing and research it's turned out that bright green is significantly faster.Funky Monk said:
rumor: IH is currently working on a different shade of brown which is supposedly much MUCH stronger, strong enough for even the biggest huck. so far the strongest is a reddish-brown with micro air-bubbles imbedded in the paint for structural integrity, but research is ongoing and will have to see what happens.
I read somewhere that last years yellow was that color because it looks better/is easier to spot in magazines and vids. Guess the new green one is even better...maybe they do R&D on colors that way?? :-D
Sounds clever, if it's true. Even though I wouldn't ride that one myself(in that color, give me a black one and we're talking!)

Only because you designed the thing underneath it
No, actually its between 1988-1990 was when dayglow was at its peak.Slacker said:
I wouldn't cut it off at the 90's, Klein had similar colors for along time, and 92-95 Trek had alot of bikes with fluorescents too. I still have a sunrise linear fade Klein Rascal I use for a SS commuter :love: haven't gotten hit on it yet!Brian HCM#1 said:
I think that color is sweet, but i'm not sure i'm fast enough to ride it.
Science has shown it was precisely the fourth of July 1989 when neon went from cool to ironic.
I have the sudden urge to go to Myrtle Beach and buy a neon green Oakley widbreaker with neon rainbow Oakley lettering on the back and pick up a Poison CD....
I must offer my bikea s the arch nemesis of this neon monster....

I think my problem is that I'm not fast enough to ride that thing :-(
Same with freerideskis, can't ski the Seth Morrison Yellow/Purple skis, I don't go big enough :-D

i like it. i just recently inherited (for free) my first road bike and immediately converted it to a beater city commuter bike... sort of inspired by the sunday, but i doubt it will take big hits
now, it's either too ugly and/or noticeable for someone to want to steal.

I do love the matt black on the SGS DH team frame, but the yellow and green aren't pretty.
Just not my cup of tea, unlike the the V10 trans blue

I was saying at its peak, not how many years it stayed kinda popular.ssaddict said:I wouldn't cut it off at the 90's, Klein had similar colors for along time, and 92-95 Trek had alot of bikes with fluorescents too.

I didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing, just wanted to mention those bikes.Brian HCM#1 said:
