Drunk buying (again).......... Roberts dogs bolx

[sunympholepsy]

Hate the yellow, I am tempted by the old gold colour under the yellow though... But I keep thinking that all dogs bolx should be black and white under pain of death..... Anyone else think like this?
I am tempted by the SE colour schemes, or a take on them maybe...

Thoughts welcomed.

Where are the pictures from, please? I am 99% sure that the second one is in my possession now!

Surely this is the inspiration:

The yellow and green sure look fabulous but i understand despising anything that´s not black or white.

A few ideas here, I actually quite like the red/ yellow, but it visually it reminds me of something I already have

But I'm keen on a nod to its past I think .... What can I do with gold?

Scanned it years ago from an old mountain biking book, looks to be blue and silver, a different build to the green and white one though.

If you want a few sheets for accents on it im happy to post you a few......what im basically saying is..." i have schlag if you want it"..... better if said in an russian accent!

Actually gold leaf with black lettering/black with gold leaf lettering would look pretty good I think,

I have a few sheets if you want also

+1 for anything except black and white!
Up to you of course
If you’re thinking gold, here’s a custom Nobilette that was on sale here a while back that I think works well - definitely different:

Ah, JPS, another colour scheme you cant go wrong with

A dull gold was one of the colours I thought about for one of my frames, though seemed a bit obvious if you know what I mean. Currently liking grey for it though, like Nardo grey.

Ok guys... Tell me more about the gold leaf, I haven't used it before so... Interested, have you guys used it on a bike?
