[#293879]

So I won my Dialled Alpine off ebay and await its arrival. While i'm waiting I'm thinking about parts spec and while most of it will transfer straight over from my enduro think some gold bling will go well with the purple. So found a purple one on flickr and 10 minutes of excel photo magic and i think it looks pretty good.

doh !

actually proper anodised gold may look OK, well err, maybe. It would look good on a black frame - not sure you can get a bash guard in gold tho'.

I personally think it will look better than your shop'd version, only problem i can see is if you try to sell on your looking at limited market.

If by 'pretty good' you mean 'absolutely revolting', then I agree 100%. ๐Ÿ˜›

it looks different and it evokes conversation and opinion, so i like it. But i do have a track record of abominable paint jobs/ghey-ishness.

Seriously.

The white and purple one looks nice.
The rest are bad colours to start with and manage to clash very well with the purple

.....better go to specsavers before any rash colour based decisions !

oh and this, the goldy coloured one.
(referring to the e13 bash guards above.

....actually as you can see by the writing beside it, it's ORANGE !

The gold(orange) is horrible as its overdone however keeping it to the QRs and maybe the hubs will be ok. But I do like the white and red shopped versions and for some strange reason I REALLY like the green rims. But your unlikely to find the rest of the stuff in that green.

You could get some V8s strip them down and have them powdercoated at the same time as the rims and a cheep simple headset (but mask that heavily) and maybe a seat QR if your nice. Would be a lot of hassle but you would have a really individual bike. Go for it.

Would imagine you would be limited by the amount of bits you could actually get tho, well apart from one of these:

I do think stealth is a bit 5 years ago. Bold colours are the way forward.

YES!
