I've just ordered a black carbon frame to go with black wheels and forks. Thinking of adding a touch of colour on the rest of the build, show me what you've got for inspiration.

My 146 works, the seat has now been changed for a black one.

My roadie I built up earlier this year again, more a satin black

Remember seeing that Trinity on another thread. Makes for a nice looking road bike, could easily be mistaken for a Propel.

Since posting yesterday and mentioning that I'm not sure about the silver levers & reservoir covers on the brakes I've now decided that I DO like them - a bit of silver on the bars balances the silver/grey of the fork stantions, front mech cage, chain and cassette.

That's all.

Thanks Superted haha

I paid 80 colonial dollars for the frame about 18 months ago. Full carbon, lovely finishing and perfect machining in the BB and head tube inserts. None of this scaremongering oh they are made of Powersauce wrappers and spit nonsense. She rides ace, all dayers are no problem. Not shown, but I recently stuck a shorter 80mm stem on it, same Crank Brothers one, as the one i original fitted was just too long.

I should post my recently parted out Mountain Cycle. Great bike but handled like a stealth bomber with the trim computer off, lots of fun but deck me she came up lardy. Had that frame modded with an ISCG mount so i could run a Hammerschmidt which is an ace bit of kit too.

I see your Black 301 and raise it with a completely black one. Bit of a shame considering this is a show your bike off thread but this muddy picture is the best one I've got.
