Thank you so much Wink

This is the real story: I've got a 6" well used singlepivot bike that I've finished to assemble few dasy ago (see picture). I don't like it in white color (I know I don't ride the color but the bike, anyway I want my bike to look as I want, that means cool and sweet). I got the chance to buy two frames: a brand new Bottlerocket in raw and a very well used Blur 4x in orange; I could disassemble my frame, sell it and assemble the new one (almost every component has the sime size for all those frames). The other options are: keep my bike as it is or disassemble it and repaint it in kelly or irish green or orange.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not what we call a "poser" but I want my own bike.

Thank you Wink

Before the beginning of this season, I saw almost no bikes painted bright orange. Then as soon as I paint both my bikes orange, all of a sudden it's the new cool color. I'd say go for green or maybe even a blue.

The new Mongoose have only had good reviews, so I wouldn't doubt anyone would be satisfied with one, especially the price.
Is there anything even wrong with the bike you have now? Is it just the color that leaves you unsatisfied? If you are looking for a new bike, then by all means, but it wouldn't make sense to buy a new bike if you just wanted a different color. Also, if you are wanting a new bike that is fun and near indestructable, then the BottleRocket is a good choice, but many of them are built up on the heavy side.

I was actually asking the other guy if there was a reason he wanted a new bike.
