Jonesy Posted August 2, 2019 Share yea simplicity is always nice when it comes to colorways. overdone graphics and to many details scream cheap to me I know this is subjective but the painted FARR frame is very tasteful and considered. I guess you need to see it in the flesh. Farrnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted August 2, 2019 Share I know this is subjective but the painted FARR frame is very tasteful and considered. I guess you need to see it in the flesh.sorry, i did not necessarily refer to the farr frame..was just a general comment. i'm talking more in the line of some of the things the momsen crew (for instance) come up with...or even Scott on some of their bikes. too many things happening all over the place...look like high vis construction vehicles lol. Obviously i'd also prefer a bare frame over anything for this reason. Edited August 2, 2019 by morneS555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orange looked potentially wild, but just went on the vibe that if no one said anything bad about it it must be great in the flesh. and enough people said it was beautiful that i didn't even bother trying to find one to inspect first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boab Posted August 2, 2019 Share Nothing wrong with the Farr colours on offer currently. I quite like the orange one having seen a fee in the flesh. I just like bare bikes and I think the Farr geometry would be synergistic with a bare clear coat only. Maybe it's the hint of a Ti look that appeals, but bare steel and black fittings elsewhere floats my boat. One day perhaps... Also of the view that the unpainted frame should be offered again. Perhaps with a Farr decal on the down tube to keep the marketeers happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrnus Posted August 3, 2019 Share interesting comments ... colors and graphics are always very subjective and change every season -- after all us cyclists are a fickle and trendy bunch .... the below probably got the most likes out of all our Social Posts this past year .... yet I am not sure as many people would ride/buy it ? as a small brand we have to strike a delicate balance between what the majority want vs what is "on point" for season.

I had the "I need a new frame" itch last night. All the frames I looked at and wanted, we're either black on black, or a single colour with a contrasting colour for the decals.

But yes, Black on Black is definitely a very safe option --- I guess the same reason why car brands have to offer different ( new , trendy ) colors and not just make all their cars in Silver Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear 98% of the cars were white. it looked like a AVIS car rental lot. When did society become this boring lol?.

You can always offer different colour decals - brands like Evil do that, still adds some differentiation and personality without it sticking out like a traffic cone. There is actually a specific bike I want right now, but it's only available in bright red, and that alone will make me not buy it. There is nothing wrong with colour, but I feel like there should always be a toned down version before a colourful one. But I understand as a small brand that must be an incredinly hard balancing act. Farrnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
