I'm after another Dolan FXE....it's basically a choice of black or black! (matt or gloss)

or

Argh! I'm swaying towards gloss, though I prefer the forks on the Matt

How do you decide?

As above and don't go bolting lots of ugly logo'd up parts to it.

My old school road leanings are sending me gloss, plus I have an old set of fully graphic'd up Navigator wheels.

On the whole it'll look quite offensive

Have seen other bikes where people have made  blacked up versions of  stickers and put them over the existing making it stealthily logoed.

never quite sure about Matt finish on paint.

Think yourself lucky that you get a choice.

The more common scenario is that the bike has several specifications - desire, SLX, XT & XTR, for example.

Each spec has a different frame colour, and the spec that you want isn't the colour you'd prefer - and it's probably the most vomit inducing colour of the lot.

Matt looks better but matt is a pain to keep looking good, if that bothers you then go gloss.

Tough choice. Black or, er.. black.

Don't ever buy an Orange! They have 10 different colour options and then 9 different decal colour options, 90 different colour combos in total! 😀

I love stealth but I quite like white logos on black.

If your wheels are logoed up too, it might work. 😉

How about nearly 40 emails about RAL colours, paint masking, KandyKote, copper metallic, tartan, asymmetric colours on forks and seat/ chainstays, metallic fleck and font choice?

Not by me I'll hasten to say.

Thanks all, I'm stuck on gloss, I have a matt black Dolan at the moment and it never looks tidy, plus without stickers I reckon it looks a bit stolen.

Ta!
