Pretty. I think I want my next frame to be white.

But what about this, "I was born without ACL's on both knees (yes, I'm a
freak) and I have destroyed my LCL's and MCL's also (plus torn meniscus
on both knees)"

:-O

Cool. Might have to try that myself.
All that hard work though and it gets painted plain white. Like a
beautiful woman wearing an ugly dress.

Pfffft!
Ours is a femme sport. Ask anybody who's not a cyclist and they'll tell
you. The skinniness, the spandex, the emphasis on butt muscles... need
I go on? The sooner you accept this the better off you are.
By that logic, the best frame colors relate to the best panty colors.
You can have your tiger striped, gussetted, Fredericks draperies.
White always works for me.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that white stands for no personality? To

LOL. I currently have two bikes with fades (bright blue to yellow, and
purple to yellow, but that's the tandem and my wife picked its color),
one pearlescent white (warranty replacement for an obnoxious orange one)
and a yawner plain Ti frame. Used to have a bike with jigsaw puzzle
pieces painted all over it (factory custom paint no less!).
Maybe I need new undies. :-)

I repeat, pfffft!
Don't confuse lack of personality with obviousness. My white '75
Paramount track bike has more personality in one of it's Campy fork
ends than you, your peacock autos, and everyone you've ever met. It
requires a discerning eye and an ability to pull it off, though.
Style is danger. Vanilla is delicious. Don't fear the white. And don't
get me started on my poor broken hot pink Nishiki.
And am I even replying to someone with fades? Unless you're James
Worthy, your paint schemes are simply unacceptable. Answer me this: how
many pleats are in the pants you're wearing right now?

ROTFL.... I rejected the pleat a several years ago. Damn poofy things
always made me feel like I was wearing a dress. And while we're on the
subject, what the hell is with those little tinker bell dress shoes that
have those frilly tassels; I want to commit a homicide every time I see
some "dude" wearing those things.

OK. Never did that but then again I can't wear anything other than
Rockport Prowalkers due to my flat feet and massive bunyans. I think I
have the ugliest feet in the world and we'll just leave it at that.

But back to the SS. That's a really cool project but I'll never understand
why anyone would put cable/hose guides underneath the toptube on a mtn bike.
Hasn't he ever shouldered a bike?

When you're rocking the pleats and tassles, it's just over baby. I
think that's what happens when your wife has been dressing you for a
decade or so. I suspect that the tassles somehow relate to some sort of
testicular proxies, now that the tassle wearer no longer has want,
need, or access to them.
However:
-- if the wearer is over 70 it shows a touch of flair
-- younger men who posess the sheer moxie to pull off the combo can
accomplish almost anything
-- I'm in full support of bicycle grip streamers

The one flaw with my SS, cable routing. I got used to shouldering it in
a certain manner, or just throwing the whole bike on my back when
hiking something long and steep. It's a lot easier with a 23 lb bike.
