    Just need to whack some Swarovski crystals on there, stick em on a bit of chain, and you’ll be able to wear ’em down the club too. 😉

    Not quite my cup of tea, but fair play for the DIY customisation, good effort!

    Out of interest where did you get them done and do they do colours that aren’t gold?

    Erm, well, just so long as you like them.

    I’m quite interested to see them on the bike. Mostly because I want to see what they look like fitted, but also because I’m curious as to what the rest of your bike looks like… 😀

    Did you do the anodizing yourself or other?
    If a DIY job tell me more.

    Yeah the guy does any colour you like, except white obviously. I think black or grey is a bit more common, yeah drop him a mail he is a really nice guy and efficient and not expensive at all,

    My big fat gypsy brakeset, you should get your frame airbrushed in Burberry. Joking aside I think they look kind of cool, I prefer the all silver myself tho.

    Liking the idea, but not too sure about the colour. I think i would have kept some of the parts like the dials and levers the standard colour to break them up abit. Might go for red or blue myself…

    ok, what parts of a bike can’t you get anodised?

    i’m severely tempted to get my cranks, chainrings, brakes and other bits done in poiple!

    MMMmmmmm I like the shiny shiny. As above though I think it would have been good to keep some parts black or something.

    Hmm, different, but all credit for doing something different. I assume you live in either Essex or Dubai?

    Is this your bike? 😯

    Just spotted it over on the Intense forum on mtbr. I do like the gold Tracers and Tazers but I reckon black bits would look a little more, erm, understated 😆

    Actually I’ve just noticed the garden too 😯

    @philconsequence: You can anything that is aluminium done, think fork lowers are quite common, but steve seems happy to do any part of your bike.

    @grum: Yeah Maybe I should have broken it up a bit, but as I was getting it done went all out, its easy to get some different colour reservoir caps from crc,

    I might moving to dubia so i can wear the callipers as earings
