Lifted from SRAM, about X0 “There seems to be a lot of component manufacturers offering multiple colour options for their products in a move to keep up with the growing fashion trend of bright colours that are a far cry from the stealth blacks and greys that have dominated the mtb scene over the last few years.”

What do you think about this trend for more colour?

bring it on …. lots of things these days are boring colour wise

it’s the 90’s all over again

flouro shorts and tops anyone?

“…eeeh lad I remember when this was all anodised purple…”

bring it on, brightens up the place.

Marketing innit. Rear mechs, cranks, etc., no new developments in the last few years; “how can we sell stuff? What’s missing from the market?” “different colours?”

I would like a green frame with green bits on though, that’d be nice.

*digs out Bermuda shorts*

black will do for moi……
bright colours are for jey/gheyers………… 8)

Yes, I’m lusting after the green alloy Ragley with green and black components. I think it’s a summer thing.

Works for Apple

Works for Apple

I’ve got a feeling it’ll work for SRAM too

as long as they keep silver and black as options they can do what they like as far as I care

It works for Chris King and Hope too…

lol druidh..

Charge had a green ht with matching rebas on show at the Set-2-Rise race. One of the nicest bikes I’ve ever seen. All this new colour-matched SRAM kit looks really nice, but…

…As for coloured/white components, they all end up looking really tatty after a few winter rides. I’ll keep it black and silver, thanks. I’d also rather see a reduction in prices if there’s been no actual R&D on these products, but that’s a whole new can of worms

For £160 you can have your X0 mech in pink.

If I wanted to look like a member of The Klaxons while out riding my bike I’d just wear a flouro hoody instead of buying a £160 coloured rear mech.

Could be following the fixie trend.

I went into Brick Lane bikes the other day and it looked like a sweet shop.

Bermuda shorts! I’d almost forgotten. Wonder if I can get some of them for the summer on ebay…

this thread is nothing without purple
