I like the black too. But I like the idea of having something that isn't "off the shelf". And I need a winter project to keep me out of trouble! I have thought of rawing. We'll see. Needs new brakes before i do anything else.

 Ha thanks. This is the one I'm thinking of painting. I like the black enough, but its a little generic, and to be honest, the paint, while not poorly done, looks a little run of the mill. Problem with a paint job is the options are limitless!

 @SilverCreek: oh don't remind me, not only colours but decals & finish etc, I get sleepless night thinking about painting bikes!
oh nearly forgot, how about hydro dipping? It's easy to do...
