Please! Extra points for white bikes 8)

Tazer is looking pretty chunky at the mo with mainly black kit . . .

But as Father Christmas is bringing a nice pair of shorter travel Minutes (white lowers, silver crown) I'm considering swapping some of the other kit for silver (reckon I'll hang onto the Bombers though to swap back to for d/h days).

Not particularly bothered about losing weight - just looking for an excuse to buy stuff ๐Ÿ˜‰

i really like the thomson stuff because on the silver, you still get the raw CNC texture, where as with the black you don't see it as much.

Most stuff on this is silver. Silver Thomson, Silver King, silver Mavic rims, looks superb, imo ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sorry i don't have any clearer pics as only just finished building it but it does make the bike look lighter/lifted when compared to a black finishing kit, does benefit from a sliver headset as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wow, that Thomson kit does look nice 8) especially alongside the Manitous, bigsi. Hmmmm, more ebay sales are called for to raise the cash ๐Ÿ˜•

Where to start?

Julianwilson's bars and grips...too awful for words.
The on one...plain but OK , saddle's terrible.
Niche's Indy is nice, but again, saddle fail, and there's too much shit hanging off it.
si's...Silver and white, [i]and[/i] black...please.
Onion, you'll do yerself an injury with that saddle angle.
Woodsman: did you get those bars from an actual shopper?

Only bigsi's is more or less OK, but even that's got white cable outers.

I am the Gwok Won of MTB.... ๐Ÿ™‚

like you mama im tempted by a silver thomson stem. maybe a silver bar too, though that might be taking it too far. silver spokes would be nice...

I wanted to put silver kit on my SS, but it's virtually impossible to get everything in silver these days, so it ended up stripy! e.g. Black hubs, silver spokes, black and silver rims, silver bar ends, black bars, silver stem.... ๐Ÿ™‚

@PeterPoddy That's why I always do my own thing... if it isn't silver; make it silver!

@ken_shields [i]actually[/i].... that bike has flames polished into the Titanium (took me ages!)

That's a really nice looking Singular! How do disk brakes work with racer style brake leavers? Aren't disk brakes hydraulic?

Cable pull brakes I reckon. Love the look of those Singulars - probably cos they cut the same profile as a tiny frame with 26" wheels.
