I guess it is more of a khaki color. It will match your jersey and shorts well

My gawd people. THEY ARE NOT POT LEAVES!!! GROW UP AND READ UP ON YOUR HISTORY AND HORTICULTURE!
They are Japanese maple leaves, a symbol of strength, courage and honor for the samurai.

Look pal, NO NEED TO SHOUT IN CAPS at me.
I'm very familiar with Japanese maple, I am a professional tattooist, and have incorporated them into various designs over the years. I hate to tell you.....those look more like pot leaves......fire your graphics guy........

I'd say they are closer to the maple leafs. Side by side comparison http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2008/11/7/128705522772170757.jpg

Yes, its similar, but the shock is connected to both links. Also simular to the ZERO suspension design.

ZERO suspension design is Mondraker. They have some good stuff coming out too. One of a hand full of us smaller guys who all believe in the power of the floating shock!

some of them go so far as to feel them.. to make sure they really aren't stickers Frown. Maybe you should start selling the decal kit, you could probably fund a new batch of bikes off of it Razz
