lewiswolsey2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 IMO i would go for a plain white frame with a bright colour for the wheels, handlebars etc, Something Like an orange or even a green. But to be honest its all abouy personal preference. Just go with something that you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am ze best Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 For me you need a simple frame colour with something a little different for the rims and bars etc. Just a simple white or black frame with a colour that stands out from the others.The koxx silver sky is a good example.

Muel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Bikes with plain frames and one colour for the wheels, bars, cranks etc went out of fashion in 2005.Colourful frames and a mix of black, white and silver parts are where it's at these days.I think the best looking wheels you can get for any set up are black rims, white spokes and black hubs, they go with every set-up and look amazing.

BTR_Vince Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Are you choosing your pads cos of the colour?No, the Echo pads come in 5 different colours, one being blue. But they are all the same compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I fail to see how people can't think of their own colour schemes.BLACK and any colourWHITE and any colourSILVER and any colourANY COLOUR and blackANY COLOUR and whiteANY COLOUR and silverThere's six for you. Please don't tell me you need help figuring out what colour ANY COLOUR should be. Also don't tell me you're putting other people's opinions over your own for colour choice.

Revolver Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yeah...This isn't the first 'Uhh, what colour should I spray my bike so I don't like it but everyone else tells me it's nice so I feel good' thread and it won't be the last.It boils down to this: No-one cares, use your own brain.The trick to getting validated isn't bulk post count, or getting seen, it's initiative.Initiative: noun 1. A beginning; a first move. 2. A new development; a fresh approach to something; a new way of dealing with a problem. 3. The ability to act first or on one's own.

trials jack Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 im not sure which one yet but thought that i might get a silver frame and gold handle bars,rims and hubs and get black forks and stem but thank you for givin me some good ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Remember that if you are grinding you're rims, you will loose half the colour of the rim anyway. So I tend to go for white or silver. Think about where scratches will occur on you're bike too. Cranks, bash, chain stays bla bla. I would go for silver cranks and bash so scrapes dont show as bad.I personally dont like greens, blues, purples or golds on a bike, reds I can live with. Just dont have a multitude of colours spashed around or it'll look like a pile of pish.If I was to have a splash of anything on my bike it would be carbon or Ti.

D-J-M Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think that a grey/silver frame,bars and pedals.Then red or blue for the rims,stem and cranks looks good.It is your bike though so go for what you think looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
