Chris@Onza rider Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Well i would like some help on the colour scheme of my bike. looking at most of your bikes in the gallery you know how to go about it and what looks best. so my bike is totaly black at the minute and im getting a new wheelset, i have pretty much already got my front king (cheque is in the post if you read this dan(Y)) which is in black, and i thought hmmm black bike it should look pretty nice with gold rims, so i was wondering that if i had black hubs on gold rims wouldnt it look a bit odd? So my question is what should i do:- Black hubs on gold rims? Or just go for the stealth look and get it all black? I will get a pic for you tommorow so you can see what i mean. most of you may not give to sh!ts but I would like to know your opinions. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Or, you could sacrifice it being colour co-ordinated, be normal and just get the best components you can afford no matter what colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) The 100% black would look pritty cool, but gold rims would look very bling. :P I have seen a black and gold bike befor. But too may things on it were gold. If your going to do it just do the rims, as the wheels do cover a large part of the bike. Where as if you just did, say the pedals gold it would look stupid. So, get gold rims, and leave the rest black. Bling Bling. :D Edited June 26, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Onza rider Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 this is the best i can afford monkey :"> . but the parts aren't that bad it is chris king which i have got all happy about :D :P . Yeah thats the thing gold on a bike does look bling but so does black it just looks.........hot. But i have gold lever blades and gold disc caliper, do you think that would be to much? with the wheels and all? BUt at the end of the day its how the bike performs not how it looks...............still bothers me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like a hippy, but not as friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoojames Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I say, give us a pic :P, but nah get the gold rims if you can find some nice ones that will suit your bike and riding style! Then maybe a gold headset? I love coloured headsets! Then your bike will be the pimpest! James :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
