I am planning to purchase a new danish style bike however I do not know what color to get...

Here is a flickr page:

I really like the swan shape on this however it is the womens model:

I am thinking about getting the red frame with cream colored tires and brown saddle....

Anyways, thinking about either cream, red, or olive. I want the swan but that might be a bit too feminine.

Skeppshult bikes -- the Natur model is one of my favorites. It's a Swedish company, so you'll pay more for buying it in the US, but I think it's worth it. They have a dealer in NYC:

CLEARLY FIRST

978 MADISON

AT 76TH STREET

NEW YORK, NY 10021

Just don't go with the "swan-shape" as you call it. In Scandinavia, they're referred to as "girl's bikes". Any man riding one would be considered a bit eccentric at the very least.

Definitely the red one. By a wide margin.

Dude, stop it. Those bikes look ridiculous in NYC. Just get a cross bike from a decent manufacturer and be done with it. Your bike will be stolen in no time anyway.
