FYI, The Silver color I've used a couple times is Imron 44401 Pewter Grey
Metallic. Joe Bell used it on my Proteus SS here:

the same silver. When I trashed the fork on the Proteus, I
Yowza, that pic of a squished fork gave me a sad. I am glad you are ok. I
guess since you already shelled out for the couplers it would pay to have
it re-done. I know Bilenky will do a once color finish for a good price.
There are a few paints pretty close to what you had but again there are

Lynne, after looking at those buckled top and down tubes maybe best to just
move on and get a Sam or Betty/Gomez. Then again I know how personally
invested people can be in a bike but just my 2 cents.

Well, the best part is, no matter what color you choose, the bike will be
beautiful.
I have a dark blue/purpley(blackberry!) metallic Sam, and love it.

When I ordered my custom frame from Curt Goodrich, I asked Curt to pick the

Thanks for the color chart, maybe if I can whittle it down to 5-6 colors in
the next week I will be at least closer. :)

I had the same issue when trying to choose custom colors. First one was on
the Bombadil, and after choosing an almost black dark green found that the
painter either chose another dark green color due to him not having the
Imron one I had chosen, or that the color I chose looked completetely
I love my silver Bombadil, and have had others painted silver as well.
Very forgiving as to the nuances that show up in other colors. You can add
color on a whim with new bar tape and bags, and it changes the whole vibe.

It does put a huge burden on the builder, I think. It's easier if you
have to choose from a restricted range of choices, especially if the
builder has chosen several that he thinks work particularly well with
that type of bike. Sky is the limit really doesn't work, as not all
colors or schemes
I was recently in a similar quandary... with a custom bike build. I gave
the builder some ideas of colors that I like and told him whatever it was I
wanted it to be kind of muted. I left the final color choice up to him. My
thought being that whatever the color, it would be fine. There will

I do know I want something a little tougher and thought about powder coat
but don't know
I guess powder coat may be less scratch prone than paint but I gather
it's not as effective at preventing rust underneath it.
What have folks heard or experienced wrt two part polymer paints vs
powder
I like the metallic pewter on my Saluki. It's close to the flat grey

color), but the metallic brightens it up when the sun hits it. From certain
