Getting my lapierre spicy powdercoated all white, with white forks.
But what colour saddle and grips?
was thinking of either white, brown or black charge spoon and saddle and grips.

I have just swapped the white stem for a black one and the fork lowers for a white set. Pics will be added when complete.
It had white bars/stem/grips but looked stupid and plasticy. You need some contrast

Saddle is OK in white. Mine is a Specialized Alias and just cleans up really well. The grips tend to darken very quickly - depends how anal you are about it looking like new.

Not the best photos im afraid.
I warn you though the white charge grips and saddle do not stay that way for more than one ride...
Oh, go on then!

geetee, right click the image in flickr and select "Properties" and copy the img location (in Explorer) or "Copy image location" (in firefox). Paste into the IMG box.
I think the flickr share this thing produces a clicky photo which won't work with the IMG tags.
gee you want to take the other option number 2 just the photos url.
Thanks guy - let's see if I can get this to work

Success! Thanks guys - all very helpful. What confuses me is that I have done this before and didn't use the process you outlined, although that does clearly work. Anyway, now that it works here are a few more:

I'm of the opinion that frames and forks are the only place where you should use colour on a bike. Saddle, grips, bars etc should all be black.
Here's mine anyway, it now has white SIDs on it and looks awful as it has mudguards.

Pinches I do like your Intense - looks like a fun bike, compact, fast, chuckable, more than strong enough. Is it realistically light enough to do 2-3 hour trail rides on?
The very darkest bit of the "DARK SIDE"!!!!!!! 🙄

theswede how much? what weight is it? is it enduro-able? want a hardtail for summer enduros

Not telling how much as I may want to sell it on here later on. Haven't weighed it but it is very light. Back end is a bit unforgiving but I do run the tires very hard and its ally so I suppose its to be expected. Very arse up head down but yeah, no reason why not.

give me a heads up if you do 🙂
these bikes are way too clean!
Zedsdead - Memberthese bikes are way too clean!

My play bike. Currently gathering dust as I'm too much of a wuss to go street riding in the cold and dark 🙁

To be honest, no. its not an all day trail bike and its impossible to pedal up hill for any distance! although: its a 16" and i cant run a long enough seat to make my legs work efficiently sat down. It has 4.5" travel in the steeper head angle but the geometry is full on 4x race bike. with my build, 31LB but as you say, fast rolling, chuckable.

That intense looks like like it's a right hoot to ride, but dear god it's damn ugly!
No offense meant.

Some people do think so, normally my girlfriend who likens it to a "crane" not sure how.
i personally think the Foes Zig Zag on the first page is the considerably worse aesthetically (but in the same vane)
Oh, found a couple more...
