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?

What are the decal colours on your frame and forks? Maybe you could get orange rim and hub then get some orange ragley bars.

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 ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Forks are Rockshox Revelations so white and red decals. Saddle is a Ritchey Pro with red and white decals.

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.

The union flag 'orange' downtube decal came on patriots that had the 'O' of patriot as roundell, circa 2001-3 IIRC
