I think the orange/black could be good, the right orange to work with that green could be difficult, but you WILL be seen.

They make lovely looking bikes, Bloke at work got one, took me ages to figure out what the logo actually said. Really nice bike. I’ve just been on their site to look at what their new bikes were like, and they do look so good.
