Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 don't get red rims but keep the red rim tape and just get little things that are red , the brake mounts are cool i've got viz ones in black, don't get a red booster go for maybe chrome or polished just to separate the red and polished a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Don't over do it with the red bits, because it'll look reallytacky.And send the Hope headset back, it won't fit because you have an internal headtube.(Meaning the headset sits inside it, so sticking outside)Looks nice as it is, I say leave it at that.

blinky Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) dont bother getting new brake mounts just cos theyre red, just rub the old ones down and spray them a different colour are those middleburns on there? if not, get some with the red bash.red pedals maybe?

ashby-trials Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 hey nice bike dude you could get red hope spacers and if i was you id cut your fork steerer down its too long as you have got too many spacers. you could get red koxx try-all bars, red grips, red brake mounts and red valve caps.Don't over do it with the red bits, because it'll look reallytacky.And send the Hope headset back, it won't fit because you have an internal headtube.(Meaning the headset sits inside it, so sticking outside)Looks nice as it is, I say leave it at that. Wouldnt he better off with one of those internal echo head sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob87 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) I'd say maybe some coloured brake mounts and some Red magura cable.Put to much red on though and it will look stupid.If your going for the super Cheesy look get a Wipperman ConneX 908 chain in red.Why oh why did they release coloured chains?

monty boi Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Do not get red rims it will make the bike look tacky and cheap it looks ok as it is, the brake mounts will look quite good, just dont over do it.Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 i think it looks very smart and yea the brake mounts would reallly suit it, but its fine as it is .. maybe one day you could swap you maguras for a red set that would look mint!

lardo_69 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dont bother buying new bits just to make your bike nicer. Just replace them in the colour you want when you brake them. Spend your money on proper things like beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
