In the not too distant future I will be getting a frame & fork refinished.

I have in the spares box the majority of kit already for the build.

Most of the gearing and finishing kit will be silver.

In the passed I have mixed up silver and black kit but this will be almost exclusively silver kit inc rims 😕

All suggestions and pictures most welcome 8)

I am hopeless with colours 😳

I think it really depends on what the frame is. If it’s a hardtail/rigid then silver will go with pretty much anything and should have a classic look, really lends itself to using brown saddles/grips

A bouncer is slightly more modern looking but again judicious use of silver can look tidy too.

I like silver finishing kit, but it seems to have gone out of fashion and be hard to come by these days. Green and silver works for me.

I'm still on the lookout for some sensible width (660-680mm) OS silver low risers.

+1 For a nice deep blue. Paint would look better than powder for this I think. It wants to look like you could sink into it.
