So the 24" bike that I'm building up with The Boy is bright green, and I mentioned maybe we should have purple pedals to make it look awesome.
I was only half serious, but it turns out he thinks this is a great idea. I'm now thinking:
* Green frame
* Purple pedals, stem top cap
* Everything else black
Anyone got a green-with-purple-bits bike that looks awesome? Or is it actually disgusting? Inspire me!
Abigale has.Fluro green Chameleon with purple bits. Will find some pics tomorrow
If you look up the hope academy bikes, the 24' has a green frame and can be specced with purple bits. Looks really good I think.
Ill try and find the picture but I did a build for a customer a few year ago with a Sworks enduro in green with purple, was ****ing awesome
For 'bling' bits - Custom Kapz or Hope hed doctor for headset caps; Hope grip doctor for bar plugs; anodised dust caps; coloured Jagwire cables.
You can pick up some anodized aluminum bike parts real cheap on Alibaba...

My lad will kill me if he sees that first one, he is 6'1'' now and quicker than me.
He did love this bike though and that meant he wanted to ride it.
All awesome. Good work people.
The Hope Academy bikes have unavailable to mortals 135mm Hope cranks on! They'd probably retail at the same price as a full bike from most shops...
Wheres that lovely Bigfoot Henderson before it got stripped?
Full on Green and Purple marvel that was.
