Bright Green Bike

Are any of you guys familiar with any new bike lineups? I'm looking for a bright green bike, something like the new Ridley Noah, without having the price tag. I've looked through our catalogs ( Work in a bike store) and the only ones I know of are the Noah, and the Orbea Diva, a female bike. I'm looking in the carbon market right now, looking for a frame or a Pre-built. No more than 2750$ if a Pre-Assem bike.
In the mean time, go ahead and ask any questions you want about bikes. Anything's welcome.
Thanks for the help guys, Pic is 09 Ridley Noah Green.

Woah woah woah, you'd pay 2500+ bucks for a bike?
And I thought 189 for a beach cruiser was damn expensive.

Bwahaha, enjoy your non streetsafe bike that will break apart after 1-2 years.
Srsly, rather invest 300-400$ in an used Bike than get a run of the mill, brand new piece of junk.

Slow, maybe, but I'd rather be slow on a bike than have very little mental capacity. So little that it apparently is hard to spell three letter words.

Yeah man,>>60129is right on. 189$ is going to get you an extremely cheaply made bike, with components that are nearly broken out of the box. It will most likely be assembled by the barbecue salesman. It will not ride like a bike should. I would save up, and get a nice used bike. It'll make all the difference.

Some guys will spend 5000+ for a bike, all in the name of performance. It's really just weight savings. I hang with guys that have 2000 dollar bikes while I'm on my 600 dollar GT series four. And for daily riding, I have a lugged steel SS freewheel. So gorgeous.

If you want a bright green bike, do it yourself. Get yourself a beater, practice and then do it for real with your new, good bike. Painting a steel frame is easier than an aluminum frame. Google is your friend.

All I can think of is the '08 Cannondale team Liquigas frames. Neon green and black. You could probably pick one up on eBay and build it up.

Dude, nice call. I'll look around for good prices on frames. From what I hear, those Synapse's ride really nice.

A bunch of the '09 Devincis are various combinations of green and white... I have an '05 Silverstone 105 rebuilt with Campy Veloce and it's a wicked ride. I got mine for about $1800 CAD when new. Seems to me the SL3 is about equivalent. Carbon forks, rear triangle, saddle post and rails, headset. Main triangle is aluminum and Devinci frames ride very smooth. If you're not picky about all-carbon, see if you can find one. Mine is about 18.6lbs w/o pedals (54cm). I guess the new ones are lighter. Good luck.

Cool, I'll look into them. What I'm actually looking at right now, instead of the Cannondale Liquigas, is the 07 Ridley Excalibur. Sweet bike apparently. I'll ask my boss on Tuesday, as he's fairly knowledgeable about the line. Might just go for a 07 Cinelli Aliante frame he has. Sweet looking bike, apparently rides really well.
Pic is related Ridley Excalibur, I'll post up a pic of the Aliante if I can find one.

Here's that Aliante. Might be able to pick it up for quite a deal. Who knows. Sexy bike.

Now that I've got the frames narrowed down. Any of you guys have experience with Sram Red? The boss is using Dura Ace, but the weight savings of Red interests me. I don't want the weight savings to take away from the reputedly crisp shifting Dura Ace has.
