You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
pick your own colour is fine, but dont underestimate the number of people who dont want to make yet another decision.
every frame should be available in matt black and 1 garish colour (kwaka green/tango orange/custard yellow) as standard, then for a small extra charge you can pick your own?
Possibly have a solution to appease most potential customers.
Will put something on the website or Facebook page later/this week.
cool
Awaiting the news nervously, I desperately want to put an order in!
If I remember correctly when the first Prince Alberts were available the pre-orders could be had in the colour of your choice... same again would be cool 8)
You have me hoping now messiah! Fingers crossed
Choose you colour is fine....what would it add timewise though?
Messiah, that was a logistical nightmare in the end. 100 frames in about 12 different colours, and two people wanted pink!
Tymbian, depends how busy the UK paintshop is I suppose.
I've put some details up on the Dialled Bikes Facebook page now.
Mike, you have made me very happy 😀
Matt flat colours loud decal choices.
mmmmmmmmmm if I wanted another Alpine before, I defo want one now...
Aargh - how do I see the Facebook page????
I was always a fan of the PA orange. For the first time in years I'm hardtail-less.....this thread has me drooling 🙂

works now thanks (you have to be a friend....)
Mike,
Got it you have to be a "Friend" to see the timeline on the site which contains the post details. Love the YS7463 by the way.
Richard
I was thinking that YS7463 looks good, I used to have a Titus switchblade in that colour.
YS2311 looks good as well
Copy and paste the FB info for us at work (FB blocked) please.
its three pictures of RAL charts and two options being picked from:
YS 804 and YS 8099.
Unfortunately if facebook is being blocked so will links to its image site.
However you can see them here:

Oh yeah the the correct answer is 8099

"It's not easy being green".
Great colours though 
i found the Dialled Bikes Love Not Money page last night
and watched some great 4X.
oooh, that's not the whole story rich! There are blues on the cards too! It is just the blues though not the other colours.
YS 7464 and YS 7463:

I like YS 7464!
According to the words to the side, Mike is only considering those two greens. I would like Orange or Yellow, but would be pretty happy with green tbh.
So the choice is kermit green

Or accountant black/white/grey

I like YS 7464!

So Kermit... or his background (nice one richc) 😉

two tone 😈
From the FB page....
The great Alpine colour debate rumbles on! After considerable discussion with potential customers by e-mail and on the STW forum, here's what I hope is a way forward. The frames will come in 2 colours - white and 1 other colour from the choices specified below. For people who don't like either of those colours, there will be an optional extra to have the RAL colour of choice (within reason) for an additional surcharge (between £40-£50 TBD). Custom paint jobs will be done by Superbike Dan at PWS Finishing.
There's more in the comments section, which then states the choices are kermit green or KERMIT GREEN!
You have to click on each of the pictures and read the comments down the side. There are three greens and two blues for comment.
8099 - super luminous green and 7674 are my picks 😀 The 7674 blue looks a lot more interesting than the other one, a guy on the FB page described the other as very 'primary' looking (a bit boring) which is a good description imo.
It's a bit tricky doing it this way though as all the colours will look different depending on the monitors we're using.
Ahhh, missed that.
Either green (8099) or blue would be good IMHO.

For clarification the standard colours will be WHITE and one of the following:
YS804 or YS8099 (neon/luminous greens) or YS7463 or YS464 (transparent blues).
I'm not considering doing any other colours than the ones stated above.
I like 7463 as it reminds me of Audi Sprint Blue, which might be quite apt given how popular Audis are on this here forum 😉
You mean Nogano Blue surely 😉

I've had my (originally black) Mk1 P.A. resprayed in white and now green, the latter a bit lighter than BRG which I considered, but wanted something a bit more cheerful

Yay! back and all is revealed. Thanks Mike & peeps. Really looking forward to these. 🙂
Eurika. The colour of this months dirt logo. Sublime lime green.
You mean Nogano Blue surely
I prefer [b]nogaro[/b] blue myself...

Want, but in that pearly red the old one came in.

If this thread proves anything, you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Tiagra mech and pink superstar pedals. I love this bike.

Alpine colours update.OK, I've been decisive and selected the following 2 colours for the new Alpine Mk3 frames: WHITE & ORANGE.
I chose these colours as they're both tried, tested and popular colours in other Dialled Bikes frames, but I've never released Alpines in this colour. In the end, I didn't feel comfortable using the greens and blues I was considering, as I hadn't sampled them yet, and I'm a bit fussy like that.
The custom colour (within reason) option will still be available through Superbike Dan at PWS for an extra £50.
Hopefully, the colour choices won't disappoint too many folk. At the end of the day, it's about how the bike rides rather than what colour it is (hopefully they will all get thrashed to within an inch of their lives and be covered in dirt and battle scars most of the time anyway!).
Colour was never a primary consideration of many anyway so it don't bother me 8)
The colour doesn’t really bother me either, however, if I was about to order an Alpine it does help that two of my favourite hardtails were orange (Dialled PA), and white (Voodoo Bizango).
Well that settles it, I'll be taking Mike up on the custom colour option 🙂
Weigh about 5.5lb?

Still no more news on this?!
Although it won't necessarily be 100% finished, I'm hoping the new Dialled Bikes website will go live this week, and Alpine pre-order details will go up then.
Alternatively, if anyone wants to reserve an Alpine in the standard white or orange colours, drop me an e-mail and I will add them to the order book so their frame is reserved.
Sorry for slight slackness. I've spent too much time messing about with BMX stuff again this season instead of getting any work done 😳
