That grey one is nice! I prefer the new logos and have really enjoyed this color, it is pretty subdued and looks great with black tape and dura ace 9100

dark metallic grey

the dark metallic grey on this Cherubim is really nice...goes well with black as well as most any secondary colors (blue, pink, red etc) if you considering a colored headset, hubset etc...

Personally, I think silver (the primary color on the Cherubim) doesn't look good on bike frames

If silver, I would definitely go towards the darker shade of the frame you posted.

I'm just stoked you're keeping it. That frame is so cool!

Black cherry built up. If you don't like black cherry, you can always go with the kid's Spesh pink.

PS Check out the back o' the seat tube Lobster decal.

If Matt doesn't have it, contact Curt at HED.

He used that color for his team cross bikes. Don't remember how many seasons, but I still see one of them around here in MSP.

No pic, but I like the white. Some color in the panels would make it pop, though....

I hate this forum. Another great color for a bike. Makes my love of blue bikes seem so pedestrian.

Seafoam is really running away with it! But that's to be expected, of course.

I found a navy Prismatic color that looks pretty nice on a bike: "Misty Midnight."
