To be honest he could have gone the whole hog and fitted raindow spokes and some white walls or somat, plus the black seat and grips just don't go 😐

As someone with a fairly expensive paintjob on his bike, all I can think of is "What a waste of money, time and talent"........

my children (3 and 5) love it!

I can't imagine how much faff it must have been getting all those parts dismantled, masked off etc.

You can buy some pretty far out coloured/patterned tyres/grips/saddles, but perhaps the owner valued the performance of trusted favourite contact points over the overall 'look'. 😆

That paintjob would look rad on a hardtail - just the frame though, not all the other parts too. In fact, I can see my next nic sporting something similar...

The zip ties spoil it for me.

If you're going to do something like this, then why not go all the way?

I like it a lot, but his seat's too far forward, his cables don't match and I've never liked that colour for a seat clamp. 😀

Lovin' the pedals and the shock spring though - true dedication.

I think it's brilliant. Very, very, cool and unique.

I bet it looks better in the flesh, not my sort of thing, but can respect the effort they have taken to do something unique.

Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid

It's more acid test than acid house though.

So far beyond good taste that I can't bring myself to say anything bad. In fact I admire the owner for their bravery. You'd want to be a good rider to do that!

I actually used to ride round north London on a women's shopper painted like that when I was a student in the early '90s. It belonged to a female housemate of mine though.

You've got to be seriously good at DH to ride a [s]rig[/s] bike like that.
Me, I'm a lard-@rse so would be sat at the top of the hill, out of breath from pushing it to the start, looking like I've bought something way beyond my ability. Oh and I don't like it.

if he can ride and I mean well, fair play, its unique, not run of the mill black & boring....

Reminds me of some of the old Cinelli, Corratec and other Euro-fluo paint jobs of old!

Let's see it then....

I kinda like the paint job, it's different at least. Zip ties are a bit gash though
