Above Above is the Pinstripe Bright Bike, with 1/4 inch thin strips that run along the length of the tubes. Below is the Caterpillar Bright Bike, with 1 inch bands that wrap around the tube and 1 inch dashed strips that run along the thin tubes.
The kits come in 7 colors: Black, Dark Blue, Royal Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, and White. See the photograph to see what each of these colors looks like in daylight and in headlights.
Each kit is sized to be large enough for a 61cm frame with extra wide tubing, so in nearly every case, you will have extra materials that will give you room to play and experiment.
