I didn't even notice those rims though. But I guess here in the states, we don't get anything "radical". Like bright green, or bright blue. It's pretty simple, red, black, stripes, with white and gray accents.

Zero we have a bright green one this year. It's the black and green one on the UK website. haha. We also have a red/white/blue scheme from the '09. And yeah, this year we got Leyla! haha. But I agree, that blue and white is to die for.

Hi Guys,
Sorry if we have the colour you want, lol, but it's not always the case. I remember years ago seeing the colours of a bike in MCN (our weekly bike newspaper) and we had boring shellsuit colous and you had a gorgeous white one with decals. Think it may have been a blade or a SP1, not sure. But we don't always get the nicer colours............... and besides, don't be greedy, you get all the nice weather, lol.

Not all of us, I live in the north, there's snow on the ground now and my baby is in the garage, but it is getting some much needed shim work done on the valves, man is that a pita to do the first time.

I've noticed that when i watch OCC it always seems to be snowing. It's been snowing on and off here for over 2 months

Let's hope we make up for it with a good summer for a change If not, i'm coming back to the USA, anyone got a spare bedroom? lol.

I think this is just another case of "the grass is greener on the other side". I think we get the cooler bikes/colours, but sometimes they get cool stuff that we wish we had. That blue one is freakin sweet though.

NoBrains, I was in the UK for my fall semester, and the weather is AWESOME there compared to winter time at Chicago. You could probably get away with almost riding year round there if you didn't mind the wet or cold.

I've seen the green one at the dealer, and was just like "I WANT IT!" But that blue one just makes my jaw drop.
