In need of inspiration
thinking of adding some colour to my orange st4 build
so far its chrome grey
silver thomson post and stem
white forks
white brakes
pretty dull really
so thinking of a touch of colour in wheels and grops and seat clamps
show me your chrome grey builds for inspiration please
cheers DTD
Do you own the bike yet or are you specing a new one? How about some funky coloured hubs and rims say blue pro 2s and some blue powdercoated/anodised rims?
superstar are doing a good deal on switch wheels
coloured rim and hub
blue,gold,orange,white,red or any combination ?
What are the decal colours on your frame and forks? Maybe you could get orange rim and hub then get some orange ragley bars.
well do you an new orange five with any color hubs/hope stuff...very popular.im just building a new demo,red frame/white forks/blue wheels/pink brakes/bb....sweet!
My recently knicked 5 had white forks and I went with blue finishing kit including blue hope rotors, blue skewers, white grips, blue clamp and cow print saddle(not really coordintaed but I liked it!)- I was very happy with the way it looked- and it was obviously attractive enough to the thieving scum bag who knicked it too ๐ฟ

Very grey indeed! As it came out of the shop. Like that ST4 above.
Not got one but seen one done out with blue bits and it didn't really do anything for me.
I reckon green bits would look good though. Grey and green are complimentary colours, I'm sure.
sorted my gairish one.pics later today!
Rowan Sorrell, on his chromed 5 at the STW Weekender. Nice.

I always fancied having a union flag 'orange' downtube decal, sure Ive seen one somewhere...
Oh' link dont work now ๐ณ
The union flag 'orange' downtube decal came on patriots that had the 'O' of patriot as roundell, circa 2001-3 IIRC
joemetcalfm ..NICE.
