I reckon them there Niner's on the home page look really good with their colour matched forks, maybe more so with teh blue rather than the red.

Might give it a go on my FF29 as the white Rebas are a little scraggy round the edges and a nice dark grey / sky blue paint job could well look really nice, waddya reckon?

I reckon you need to stop worrying about/considering it, it'll soon be muddy again & you won't be able to tell what colour your bike or fork is...
Go for a ride, rather than thinking about this 😀

If having a nice looking bike makes you want to ride it more than it's all good. Black frames are easy to colour match 😉

I think the colour matched Niners look cheesy. Forks are fine in black or, at a very severe pinch, white.

I started something similar a little while ago:

I was getting the frame done at the same time, and it was only another tenner to match the forks. Very glad I did, I think it looks well cool. It just looks right with rigid forks.

For suss forks, I reckon it looks a bit fussy. Although I have seen some done nicely.

The only forks which might share duties with those green cromotos are those new mmmm...murdery black SIDs
