I just think it's shameful they are doing away with blue! Why not green? I bought my blue a couple years ago because I had a feeling this was going to happen. Blue is my favorite color.
On Jeffs blue 26'r, I like that's it's getting older. The style has changed a lot since it was made.
It makes no sense to me.........that shade of blue is a very modern and fashionable color still. If anything, the current color that has gotten stale, it's green, of course as I lightly bash on green, we'll miss that when its gone too someday. The green is an decent color, I don't hate it, I'd probably buy one down the road.. but if I were to choose, I'd take a blue in a minute. Now I'm super interested to see if the new red will be worth dropping blue for.
