Velo Turd

I know V.O. is getting regular and good press of late. They have proven to be a viable competitor for RBW's hold of the chi chi (#7) fancy bike market. First thing is after my experience with the Bleriot, I'm a RBW man for life. I love it. Secondly, if this is what V.O. is pumping out these days, I'll pass. It's just damn ugly. It's not an off-brown or even a chocolate brown (a la UPS). It's just shit brown. I thought the baby poop green of my LHT was a bit much, but this one is much worse. Any thoughts out there?

Great lookin' turd, if you ask me. The chain guard is hideous, otherwise I like it. Then again, I'm a fan of brown.

This is one of those muted, earth tones popular in Japan.

If you eat beets, your turds will be maroon. I have a bike that's the same color, but I don't hold it against the bike.
