Would have red links on the frame btw 🙂
well, the ibis hads blue bits, and the forks have red, so they will clash.... ?
It'll look nice.
sorry, meant to mention I'd spec red links on the frame 🙂
i had a white alpine 160 with white rims. i used allot of muckoff.
Looks as it'll be good, go for it!

I reckon it'll look pretty smart!
- just don't add white rims!!!
'tis always the problem with white anything isn't it 🙁 but you'd think mud and such would just slide right off the gloss, hopefully!

Gash IMO but who cares. Its a bike not a fashion object

Everytime i see that tazer, I want it! It just looks like a rdiculously good fun bike...
Oh it is lyons 😛
looks like you got nicely stuck in that tree, hope you were OK
Perfect width bars I reckon 😉
Yuo've got waaay too much free time and money. 😉
hmm, if we ever bump into each other, you'd better watch out as i may be tempted to steal it!
How do you find the minutes by the way?
(sorry for hi-jack)

Well... my lbs owes me a favour, so hopefully they'll cut a nice deal on the frame, they'd better

I think white bikes look cool 🙂 Go for it!
Minutes are spot on lyons. Had a pair of 120s on my old orange Tazer and loved them . . . when I bought the white one I fitted 140mm Marz 55Rs - cracking forks for d/h but they were really too long for the bike and I found my front wheel washing out on the flatter twisty stuff. Fitted the 100mm Minutes at Christmas and it feels perfect - forks are super light and easily tuneable being air sprung . . . not as stiff as the Bombers they replaced but waay lighter.

White bike with white forks looks ok to me...mate has a Pronghorn in white with some very light silver Fox forks (almost white)...also looks a good combination.

Too much white!!!
Arrrggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

Same forks on a White chameleon. I'd dig out some pictures but I can't be arsed. Looks cool though
Fashion victim - perhaps if it is being built up bit by bit...but if it's stock then you don't have the choice...
I've got a stock Commencal Super 4.3 which is white with white forks and rims. I've added a white saddle and white pedals.
(Obviously) I think white looks good.
I don't think those Ibis full-suss bikes will every be pretty, but the white forks seem to go well with the white frame.
Matching forks to frame is a bit tarty, but I will admit to having resisted so far swapping the black SID Teams off my Epic to be replaced by a set of grey Float 80RLT's I bought for it, purely 'cause they wouldn't look as good. I stuck the Floats on my Zion instead and they're a better match for the colour of that...
**Fashion vicitm overload**
My name is wheelz, and I am a fashion victim. I haven't bought any colour matched bicycle components for four weeks.
I am, however, struggling to add contrasting forks to a new frame I've just taken delivery of, so this may not last!
white bikes are soooo 2009 darling :-)!

A white Ibis will look superb. Go for it.
deluded, everytime I see your white HJ I want mine to be the same colour 🙁
Anyway, white frame white forks:

Nice matching drainpipes Deluded 😆 your bike blends in to the wall very well 😉
Definitely liking the white with white theme, it looks good 8)
Kit, are they Thor's on your Hustler?

I now own Druid's Meta 5 🙂
I use a Shimano SLX M665 with a 22/36 set up that works perfectly.
The bike is like all others with Commencal's 'contact system' - tons of rear end grip.
I hope mine works well with the Thors that I've ordered.

White on White action here... Wasn't sure about the colour to start with but it has grown on me, looks great with a bit of mud splashed on it!
I'm sure I've seen some white Nomads with white forks; honestly, that frame and fork will look chuffing gorgeous together, and on the plus side, the colour will hide any 'mess' when people get overexcited at it...
white goes browny grey quite quick, just a word of warning! it does round here anyway
glossy paint wouldn't surely? I can see leather and grips etc going that way, but would've thought it'd just wash off paint?
I was so close to getting a white mojo recently... but after giving it a lot of thought I went for the naked carbon.
I decided that for my type of riding (and I'm not changing that cos of a new bike) the bike would get covered in little scuffs and scratches that would be highlighted by the local mud round here when it covered the frame and that would annoy me as new bikes aint cheap. The naked carbon looks more tool like which I like and doesn't show every little blemish. White bikes do look very nice though.
Yes, they were the 2009 Thors. Plush and reasonably stiff, but pretty linear even when correctly set up. Nice forks, but had to sell them. From what I've read, the 2010 ones are very good.
I've got a white bike with white forks. It came with white brakes. When I put some SPDs on it, I got some cheap white Shimanos. And for winter I've got white crud catchers front and rear...
No piccies as it's a Carrera so not the sort of thing I thought I'd need a picture of. Great bike, though. And very white.
Basically it's going to look gorgeous as long as you put black rims on it 😉
Ooh I forgot I got white crud catchers too. I've been eyeing up some Shimano MP66 shoes too... 😳

Don't go down the white grips route - I have learnt this through experience 😳

Gotta agree there. The grips litterally looked like shite. The only good thing to come out of white grips were the white lock on collars I was left with.
