What spectrum are those galaxy images in? X-ray?

Galaxy pants are unneccesary, a good beating or slam can achieve the same design on legs.

I think the Odyssey seats are pretty cool, but I personally wouldn't ride one. 

It does look like everybody is trying to cash in on this color trend at the moment.  Before too long it will be all the rage in the scooter world.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
It is a period of civil war. Rebel
spaceships
(Not Odyssey) , striking from a hidden
base, have won their first victory
against the evil Galactic Empire (Odyssey).


During the battle, Rebel spies managed
to steal secret plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the Death Star (Galaxy Colorway) , an
armored space station with enough
power to destroy an entire planet (Taiwan).


Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents,
Princess Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the stolen plans
that can save her people and restore
freedom to the galaxy....

I think it looks pretty good and don't see it being as overdone as oil slick. Oil slick can fucking die!

I wouldn't mind one of those seats actually.

I'm actually digging those Madera hubs. They kind of look like a Mac wallpaper.

I'd probably get some of that stuff. I think something like hubs, stem and sprocket would look really good on a black, white or chrome bike.

Down with the leggings.

There is a big difference between the Odyssey Galaxy stuff and those other items. Just look closely at the seats and then compare.

The biggest difference I see is that the Odyssey stuff looks way closer to those chick leggings than the Madera hubs.  But I still see space 'n shit on all of that stuff... even the Total frames.

Seriously?

I see crazy clouds and swirls and shit on the Odyssey stuff, and then a frame with a fade paint job with white splatter.. Maybe I need an eye test?

I think when you are down at sea level and not waaayyyy up on that high horse it looks a bit different.  Just a theory, though. 

BANG BANG!  SHOTS FIRED!  haha   

I don't think I would ride it on any of my personal bikes.  Right around Interbike time when everybody was dropping sneak peaks of this stuff there was some (presumably) high school aged ramp tramp that was lurking at our skatepark.  She had on the same leggings that were pictured earlier in this thread.  To me, every time I would see my seat it would remind me of haggard ass ramp tramps and would make me less stoked on my bike.  And I 100% dig the Madera hubs.  They totally give off a "nebula looking ass" vibe.

My wife is way into it though, even though she doesn't wear the leggings.  I'm planning on grabbing one of the Tripod seats for her bike as per her request.

The Madera stuffs looks rad, seat on its it own would look cool. All together =tacky

There's a "your wife never wants to keep her leggings on for me either!" response begging to go in there... but it is already starting to get a bit out of hand so I'm going to pull out...

BOOM!

Personally I am not a huge fan of any of it. The odd component is cool, eg. Jim B's new bike definitely works well with the seat and a sticker:- http://instagram.com/p/wPAOiHwEZY/

However, just as a matter of basic observation, the idea that the Total frame looks like the Odyssey Galaxy is like saying this:-

Looks like this:-

if galaxy catches on like oil slick did though, then we should see a galaxy wrap as a factory option from total and snafu within about 6-9 months. thats what i was jokingly hinting at as i suddenly saw a few companys starting to offer this colourway over the last few weeks

Would actually like to see a run of Mac wallpaper colorways.

For real though where are the bear prints?
