Callisto Grey may no longer be the best colour...

Post by richardbd »

I was in Bahnstormers on Thursday and saw my first Carbon Black Metallic bike.


In the same way that Ebony isn't ebony - it's brown - the Carbon Black isn't black - it's a very deep blue.


Looks awesome...


I wonder what colour the Alpine White is when you see it for real...

Thread title is wrong - Callisto Grey was never the best colour and certainly not the fastest! That is and always will be Quartz Blue  8) 8)

I know I'm in the minority here but red is the best colour.


At least that's what I tell myself when I look at my bank balance

I was born with nothing and unfortunately I still have most of it left.

I have to admit I had a R80Rt in 1990 in a very similar colour to your bike and really liked it, but it wasn't fast  8)

Had an email from Bahnstormers yesterday, they have an Iconic which they need to sell and register before the end of the year as its EU3 and they can't sell a new EU3 bike in 2017. So they are offering £1500 of accessories/kit if you buy by the end of this month. Bet you can also get a wedge off the price as well.
