I don’t want to go over the top with the gold (which can be easily done), but I’m going to go down the traditional black & gold route (Black bike, gold finishing kit) – any pics of inspiration you want to share?…..

Looks classy 😆 :

PS. I know it belongs to sombody who comes on here.

Waiting for my black Prince Albert classic to turn up to do the same.

Hubs, headset & top cap, seat clamp, QR, BB & floating rotors is about the extent I’ll go to I reckon.

I came in here to post “Ready the eye bleach for that f-ing hideous Mega”

I see I’m too late already 🙁

Anything more than headset spacers, seat clamp, QRs, chain ring bolts and grip clamps is likely to be too much…

Would I have seen that bike at FoD over the weekend?

Seen a clip of that mega wow that’s a ugly bike far to much gold!!

Probably. I’ve seen the same guy on an equally horrible black and gold Scalp DH bike there too.

You crazy fool! 😆

Is this too much?

Over the top! 😯

hehehe

Oh god, can’t wait for him to turn up!

His name on here is “Zangolin”, I’ve not met him though he seems a pretty sound character on here… Has had various nice bikes too, though all (IMO) totally ruined by his obsession with Gold!

I call it Magpie syndrome… Personally I prefer understated, but each to their own!

EDIT: My friend has just bought a new 2012 Lapierre Zesty 314, and for a black/gold bike it’s not too bad… She won’t mind me posting this I’m sure…

Though as far as I’m concerned, the only Black/Gold colour scheme that really works is of course Senna’s old JPS Lotus, as shown further up already.

That’s the one. I had a chat to him at the Mini DH at the FOD. Hi, dude 🙂

Last couple of times I’ve been, I’ve seen one of his bikes just lying around, but nobody near it to chat to. One day I’ll see him with his bike and introduce myself!

Maybe… 😉

Pretty sweet…

I like that Mondraker – but the more I see the more I go off the gold?

I’ve currently got black/red, but it looks a bit bland? What could improve it with out going over the top?

I just did a bit of sick in my mouth.

314 – black/gold as standard
