>>1723465I feel the same about the colors. Giant and Bianchi are just bleh. Specialized is completely flat. Trek had something going for a minute with their metallic copper but I think that's gone now (and I might be biased because I have one), and I've seen a deep metallic blue on a couple.
Seems like the only options going right now are flat black, white with flat black, fucking celeste, and random loud 80s colors that manage to miss the "fun" aesthetic of the 80s and just come off as garish.
I may be retrogrouch/unracer but I miss classy flake paint jobs, with complimenting decal colors that aren't just fuckhuge block letters, and shiny unique components that catch the sun and set the bike off.
