Come on , this is cool . Fluo MTB have changed the whole cycling world , not only MTB . Road bikes and gears used to be very dull , black and white , and then the fluo MTB arrived and it all changed .
Shame that MTB nowadays are back to black and white . :cry:

Flourescent paint is just not cool, I never liked it BITD when it was!
Even if you want to stand out from the crowd there are better ways to do it, a well executed custom job (a la Rody's bikes) or just a well applied primary colour (Pinarello or Gios blue for example).
Fluoro plaint always meade me feel like it was there to draw attention to a bike that couldn't manage to garner any interest on it's merits.

"Westside, YoYo!"
Hmmm... I had a Diamondback topanga BITD that was grey & flouro pink(!) & my Saracen's hardly subtle... But are they cool? They'd have looked dull otherwise (& they're certainly better than the all-blacks that you get today), but I look at them as more 'comedy' than 'cool' :?
Guess that's probably a 'no' then from me...

Cool then uncool
Flouro bikes were cool in their day. Early eighties classics like the trek 830 and 8900 had their moment and then it passed. The flouro front end marins were great but then passe as the toys r us set copied. Many manufactures hung on to the look for a season/s too long or tried to be clever i seem to remember a flouro coral trek 8700.
