[Closed] 1st world problems: Should I go with a blue stem and handlebar?

I need to replace stem/handlebar on my current bike, was thinking on a blue Spank stem/handlebar but it might be too much blue?

Maybe blue stem/black handlebar or the other way round?

I need STW guidance/approval!

Stem only in blue and I think that's bushing it. Need to keep it subtle if mixing an anodized colour and a contrasting painted colour.

Ok, might go black/black and play it safe 🙂

Black/black. You've got enough colour already. And this is coming from someone with a red spank bar and pink grips....

Imo, black stem and blue bars perhaps

Nah, I reckon that'd  look good. But you'll need to get some black spacers as they'll almost certainly be different shades of blue.

It’ll be too much blue.

That blue will work with the orange frame.

Go for it - stem and bars. Do Spank do the oozy rims in blue, if so get them as well.

I agree about black spacers, two shades of blue would just look naff!
