Is yellow and purple such a bad choice?

[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/LargeImage.aspx?ModelID=41102 ]yellow frame[/url] and [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/LargeImage.aspx?ModelID=29845 ]purple forks[/url]?

You'll end up with a very 1980s feeling mountain bike, I can't help but think, especially when it all inevitably clashes with your clothes too.

Can someone post a photo of some awful 1980s MTB shots with people in bad clothes to show what I mean?

However, if you are digging the colour scheme then that is all that matters.

Yellow and purple go together great, I reckon rhubarb and custard is a great combo for a bike(pinkier purple than those forks ideally though)

well its the fork colour which i'm not digging, for a purple it seems so flat and dull.

do you think it would be better with blue purple or green which could all go [url= ]blue and purple here[/url], or [url= ]green here[/url]

I really like the blue, if you are looking for votes.

i'm wondering if the blue will be to 'metalic' for the forks?

Oh blimey - well you have a point there. UHU glue and glitter should fix that for the forks?
