    Tasteless eh?


    Do I need gold floating rotors too though?

    🙂

    And yeah I know I have white and black cables – got the white ones by mistake.

    It sort of goes with the brown, but I'd leave it at that
    A gold front rotor wouldn't go so well with the black fork and silver calipers I don't think

    Gold pedals would be a no no I reckon

    Dimmadan, it's not gold enough!

    CFH – yeah I kind of agree about the red end caps – but they were so cheap on wiggle dammit.

    Anyone else got any pics?

    Maybe I'm missing all the 'gold' but I can hardly see any.

    Bronze and gold go well together, my mate's 2005 SX Trail looked great with gold Hope hubs & seatclamp, gold CK headset and gold Answer bars.

    Go for broke, gold rotors and gold bar ends. Do Middleburn do a gold inner ring?

    NB – wouldn't work on any other colour bike except bronze or possibly black if your name is Huggy Bear.

    "too much?"
    Yes too much brown, take the chain/seatstay protectors off and it'll look alright

    Is that nicolai supposed to have a 160mm fork on, it looks really propped up in that picture. Gold (blocky) stem and bars look vile IMO

    timdrayton – maybe too much brown imo

    the black and gold on the nicolai is nice but the stem and bars is too much imo.

    Maybe I'm missing all the 'gold' but I can hardly see any.

    On mine it's the seat collar, headset spacers, rear QR and also the BB (but you can't see it).

    Anyone want to swap gold floating rotors for my black ones?

    Should really have got the black and gold M4 calipers 🙂

    I think it is the angle of the photo tbh
    The bash ring and the small looking shock only make the BB height look taller

    Mine hasn't for a few months – been ill with post-viral fatigue. 🙁

    Piddling around putting bits of bling on it is part of trying to stay sane (I think). 🙂

    That's pretty nice – still not sure about gold stems though. What are the gold bits on the cables?

    Needs more gold IMO. Get gold rotors.

    I should have got some for my street bike.

    Gold string holding sleeping bag circa 1988.

    That's pretty nice – still not sure about gold stems though. What are the gold bits on the cables?

    The cables are Nokon carbon. The gold bit is just an anodised link with the logo on.

    Could have gone for the gold X0 mech, but I prefer the original 2007 version.

    Hubs are obvious – gold spoke nipples, chain, pedal spindles, fork top cap (that was standard with the fork) and bolts less so – gold chainring bolts not visible from that angle! Decided against the gold rotors with gold hubs.

    Airbase stem now for sale, but the grips and seatpost clamp remain. Gold pedals still there too, but on their last legs….

    What grips are they? Def glad I didn't go for the gold stem I was thinking of now. 😉
