I'm bored of my Wolf Ridge's lurid and easily chipped shade of orange and fancy getting the frame powdercoated with something more durable and tasteful.

I'm stumped for colour ideas though...I've been thinking something like china blue, but would it be too much given that the headset, clamp and hubs are all anodized blue?

Thoughts internets, please. ๐Ÿ™‚

grey would look ace with blue components.

Not blue with blue. Either go white or black or something like lime green.

Black and white are out - I already have black and white bikes.

I think that's fair comment about excess blue...

I like this blue (Corvette blue)...

But as Terrahawk said, grey and blue is good, my Kona Jake has that colour scheme and it looks great IMO.

Bright yellow (complementary colours and all that jazz).

Blue Hope hubs, BB cups, headset, seatclamp and (you can't see them) brake piston caps on a black/silver frame:

(Also, the inside of the Gates belt is blue too, hence the choice)
