  • Parts advice: Orange and blue bike for the Ms

    Building an orange and blue bike for Ms B. Based on an Inbred 29er with rigid fork and touring/gravel wheels/tyres. Should encourage more confidence off road and better for camping trips than her current 23mm tyred road bike. She wanted a blouse but…

    Anyway, she likes orange and blue stuff, so I need some suggestions for tasteful ways to add blue to the bike without making it gross. Either pics of bikes with this done well, or links to finishing kit that comes in nice blue colours would be appreciated.

    Also have a wanted ad for blue finishing kit.

    Cheers,

    There is a Gulf coloured bike isn’t there….as well as the car of course!

    Can’t remember who makes the bike though.
    A quick Google picture search will tell you.
    Will give you some ideas perhaps?

    Hope do all their stuff in blue and a very nice shade of blue it is too!

    Personally, I love Orange bits on a blue frame, but for some reason don’t like blue bits on an Orange frame!!
    😕

    Cheers for the suggestions.

    I’m beginning to think blue outer cable (if cable discs), grips, top cap and seat clamp.

    For the ultimate finishing kit, get in touch with Terry at Jones and Son Headbadges with a custom design, and he’ll provide you with a lovely orange and blue headbadge that will make the bike totally unique.

    The one he made for me is here – and there’s a new one due soon

    Blue with orange kit is easier than orange with blue kit I think…

    So far going with Navy outer cable, top cap and will see what spacers we have at work. It’s been suggested grey also goes with orange…

    No worries – your wife deserves some bling, and Terry deserves some publicity.
