As i want to change the contact points on my new bike was toying with the idea of getting some white bits to match the forks?

This bike....

Had a mate's bike in over the weekend, with white bars on it. They look really thick and wrong. Keep it black.

Black. All white parts look utter gash and very tacky as far as I'm concerned.

White grips look great until the first time you use them.

Fork lowers are getting sprayed white, and it's gonna get a white saddle as well. Same as any other colour scene really, just don't over the top.

Get what ever colour you want, the right flex,length,upsweep and weight first then go for it.

White formula disks and levers. White grips (pointless after 2 months!).
Bars are black but have lots of white detail on them (no photos sorry) and look ace...think it could take white bars and a white saddle...
