Hey my bombadil is orange pearl but if I had to pick between black and green I would take green. I am doing a bike in XO1 purple soon, sweet 80s color. On Jul 29, 2013 6:03 PM, Garth garth...@gmail.com wrote: My Bombadil I bought from someone was originally flat black, I hated it beyond measure

I've got a Surly Ogre in Shrek (i.e. Army) Green and a Long Haul Trucker in black. Both colors are great. I like the green of the Ogre better, for what it's worth. But that's not to say you would. Shaun Meehan On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Evan Spacht evan.spa...@gmail.com wrote: my vote:

What Evan said (green + black). Of the two, the green sounds better, although I love black w/ cream. Black w/ just a touch of metallic is my absolute favorite. But yeah, I think green is better. On 7/29/13, Shoji Takahashi shoji.takaha...@gmail.com wrote: Another vote for the green! Will your
