I saw that and thought it was pretty neat. I'm curious how the paint will change in real world conditions. W it change color at the same time across the frame (less cool) or at different times and actually mimic a flame (really cool!)? It appears that the paint is temperature sensitive rather than light sensitive, so the front end may be red most of the time?

there are some pics on IG of an olympic athlete riding one and it definitely seems more sporadic and looks like the flame you mentioned.

Wow. I had a t-shirt that did this in the 90s.

i find it strange to see, that they will be using a Tarmac SL 4 in stead of an SL 5.

edit: picture 1: sl4 - picture 2: sl5.

It is a damn sweet colour. The orange alone really pops.

I believe you can buy black, orange, green and blue for temp changing paint. Of course, you could put any color you want underneath.
