theone2be Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 ok then im running a saracen blitz with a total street setup. e.g... mx comps, single speed, hope minis, etc. (in fact even though its a crappy bike to start off with the frame is one of the strongest ive ridden) any way i do airbrushing professionaly (ill give a link to my site once its finished) any im trying to think of a new color. at the moment im thinking white gloss flames with red pinstriping on matt black. so the rear of the bike will be white and the top black. and if i do this i will put a black halo combat at the front and a white at the rear. so what do people think? any other ideas? p.s. ill post some pics of all the ideas on a drawing when ive got a few from sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 my opinion would be get rid of the halos they are rubbish in my opinion get some atomlab rims or even mavic, for the frame colour i would say a gloss black (boring i know) but but it just looks so stealthy looking and crisp or if you want to be noticable go for a really wild colour like candy red or metalic blue hope this helps ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 pink, pink all the way!! it would look wel cool, have you got those pics yet? ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 This topic has been up...one day? And you've bumped it twice :P (not allowed :D ) Pink will look 'cool' at first, but it'll lose its novelty, and you'd just look like an idiot. Try something original..Like Joe did with his czar (brown) doesn't sound too nice, but looks lovely. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone2be Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 sorry about the bumps, ill get the pics asap. i wasnt thinking about pink but now ive seen damnation 5 ive really taken to it, but probley wont just do a one color job mabey a mix with some graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 i'd say go for orange and black on the frame orange being the dominant colour, and on the rims have the same colours but have one half of the rim one colour and the other half the other colour.

theone2be Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 i got to admit thats a nice color combo there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone2be Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 ok then heres the orange & black color idea. i know its on a trials bike but couldnt get any pics that would color easily. im startin the first idea i had now. what do you guys think (especially trialsmonkey because it was your idea) orange / black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 i love the black graphics i do but the orange :( id prefer a red or a yellow but still cool mate :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miket-raptorman Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 not being funny but the best place for a saracen is a waste dump although pink is pretty sexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-BAD Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) do the top half of the frame orange with the black flame graphics, and the bottem of the frame black with orange graphics! it'll look mint. :( it'd be 1 of a kind :S Edited November 17, 2005 by T-BAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try something original..Like Joe did with his czar (brown) doesn't sound too nice, but looks lovely. :lol: i say pink but it's tru it will loose its novelty maybe youroriginal idea (the matt black with fames) but where you were going to do it it matt black do it pink it will look awesome and totaly original hope that helped a lil bit :lol: i got to admit thats a nice color combo there That looks mint mate :P Edited November 17, 2005 by TR14LS_R1D3R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 How about the colour of jizz. That'd be cool, more original than pink or flames. Or using numbers in your name. *Diggidy McDig* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDurham Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 if i had a choice id go for dark purple with black gothic details :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 this might sound odd but what about camo green (no graphics) frame with white bars forks and rims (mavic i'd sugest) just a thought :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiroKage Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I like the original idea, and the camo idea. so i have a new one. Has anyone seen the new Giro XEN helmets in white camo...??? how about the original design but in camo ie black and white camo. that'd be fookin lush. and then you could buy a helmet to match! whatever you do, keep the halo combats, i swear by them, theyre awesome. if weight aint an issue, then spend a bit more and get the SAS combats, they rock.

joshywa Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 http://www.wiggle.co.uk/images/giro%20xen%20matt%20camo.jpg do you mean this one ??? that design would look lush if you used it though :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 camo and flames are a bit weak really, look good for a while but are a bit tacky (preparing for abuse). how about a baby blue fading to white at the head tube area with white forks and black detailing?
