what frame is it?

I'm always a fan of powder blue, but it depends on the design of the frame

I have always been a sucker for Rocky Mountain red like this -

But if Eurobike is a view of the future then something quite in your face and garish is probably the way forward.

British racing green, with white forks, saddle etc. BRG needs the contrast or it just looks dull.

"pinches I've been thinking of having my scandal chemically cleaned and rolling it "raw"

I like the look of that, being a bit thick how can I chemically clean my scandal, do you have to have it dipped or can you do it at home?

sorry for the hijack

'that green' looks nice on an inbred. Here's the Caz's inbred.

I mildly regret buying my santa cruz blur in white. But if you want your bike to have a permanent "just ridden" look then white is good.

If you can pick anything you want then pick something no-one else has got to make yours unique!

Remeber it doesnt have to be a solid colour...

white with metalflake, true Essex styleeeee.

edit... mines an On One too, and with all the colours of the Ral chart to go for, I went for white... not many white On Ones! (but maybe only 1 white with metal flake Scandals)

I would say pink first then camouflage or what about black with black lettering and black everything.

Rhubarb and custard!

For some reason I have got the idea that a purply pink (or pinky purple) with custard yellow lozenge shaped panels would look really good on a bike. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Depends weather you've got an anodised scandal or a painted one!

i actually have a friend who would have my frame dipped, but assuming you have a big enough container, you could do it at home.

What you want is a matte black/gloss black rearward fade - NS do a jumpframe with this effect and it looks fantastic...

Just seen the powder-coating bit - guessing you can't get a gloss powder coat?
