    About to order an a ti hardtail, and am mulling getting it anodised. Currently considering yellow, but am slightly worried it will look ever-so-slightly urine-y, so am looking for inspiration on alternatives.

    Didn’t Salsa do a nice dark green ano FS recently?

    Ti frame should be Ti coloured personally

    Yeah, it’s definitely an option to keep it Ti coloured, but I’ve always loved ano colours…

    Keep the frame raw and go for anodised components!

    Just getting the components is on the table as well. Just mildly worried about being OCD and disappearing down an anodising rabbit hole byspending an inordinate amount of time returning chain ring bolts that aren’t quite the right shade of chartreuse.

    Sacrilege to do anything to a ti frame other than leave it au natural

    That said some nice ano parts would stand out well against the frame

    Stick with annodised parts, as long as they are purple 😉

    Ive just bought a raw frame specifically so I can fit hope purple stuff all over it 😳

    Ah, missed that earlier thread, thanks.
    Am reassessing options in light of the Firefly goodness.
