Bling or Stealth?

you end up with slightly different shades of the same colour

less likely if its all from the same manufacturer.

Blue Hope hubs, headset, seat collar, BB. Can’t quite make out the blue brake cylinder end caps, but I might have to do something about the red kevlar brake pads…

Stealth all the way – just got a frame at the painters right now, plain gloss black & no decals thank you very much.

Went from fairly stealthy black ano

to a not so stealthy (but predominately monochromatic) this (de-stickered & sprayed the forks during a recent service)

Think I still prefer the stealthy option, but as the Soul frame’s finish is in good nick I’m not about to re-paint it!

Halfway between the two for me.

Silver frame with carbon black rear triangle means I can get away with either of these colours for big components (cranks, stem etc) and I’ve got a couple of red bits (grip collars, qr seat post clamp to come) to match decals on the frame.

Just got to decide what to do for pedals now, almost certainly will be black though.

It happens in most hobbies/sports/pastimes here’s my first build ;
Yes it’s gopping and too much

Here’s my last bike now sold so bike less at mo but next bike will be the same- mostly black

It’s the same when I was fishing all stainless and carbon fibre with blue bits- more expensive than bike bits and this is middle of the road kit

Thankfully you get over it 🙂
