So there were white components...
Then there was argyle for a while.
Then there was paisley for about 40 minutes.
Then there was houndstooth for a year or so.
Now there's purple ano? What else?
What are you calling out as the next hot trend for us to run out and buy?
ps- "Colorway" is a ridiculous term. Unless you're a product line manager, you probably needn't use it.

and true facts on the colorway term...stupid as fuck, it's not a red colorway...IT'S RED
glad to see you're on the same page about 'colorways' though.
Trans baby crap yella.
A. tiedye parts
B woodgrain
these would have to be film dipped, but its been done, six pack raicing has wood stem and pedal
2010 looks to be a year of unique paint jobs that set the makers apart as they wiz by the photogs on the trails. far too long have companies gone with just straight colors and stickers. now we are really starting to see some flash (that looks legit) and interesting colors/shades that stray from the the normal spectrum.
Transition has some cool stuff going on with two-tone schemes, same with the new 951 kits.
Evil is offering some rad options and Specializeds are looking Hot Rod-ish (thumbs up?).
I like the options we have this year.
when are we going to get that sarcasm font that typeface designers keep promising the interblags? call your people on that Chute.
Who wouldn't want one?
Some inspiration from the past...

This forecast does not include the fixie scene
purple and retro silver is going to rip with racing bikes. and for the dirt/street: punky happy orgasm of colours of all kinds being as spoiled lack of esthetics as kids buying these.
I am personaly sick of white red black scheme. I mean I love it, I use it a lot in my arch projects, my bike was like that just before the hype came. It's as frustrating as discovering some new tune, you love it and then... they start playing it on MTV and on the radio!
PLUS I was an outcast because I rode DH on 6" bike, and then, Bearclaw ripped on Sx Trail in Roam it suddenly my bike became a New school of Freeride! You come to races and random people with Dh rigs look at your bike saying "woow, Ur gonna win" you have
some really fast bike there! Back off would ya!
HATE TRENDS HAAAATE!
- painting spots
- and fluo colours.
I don't know what the it color is...but I know we got rid of the brown!
I'll have to look into this "Trans baby crap yella"....sound hot!
Trek used brown in their top Remedy. looks to me like someone there got inspired by those wooden details found in interiors of cars for old pricks with a strong need of manifesting their "status". I love Trek but I don't like Jaaaaag!
Agreed on the pompousity. I still stand behind my call of "trans baby crap yella" as the next trendy IT color. Even for fixie hipsters. Nay... ESPECIALLY for fixie hipsters. It'll be as trendy and "IT" as the Jersey Shore¡
In all seriousness though... I did see something about Specialized releasing a special, numbered, limited edition Sam Hill Demo 8 frameset in bright Monster green and black. Kawasaki's owned that color for years, but I'd bet one American dollar that everything MTB will be that color of green soon.
