Never been happy with the look of my fork decals, they just dont match the bike, So I am looking at 2 options from SLIK Graphics

Either the Turq/Grey or Turq/Orange.

Swaying towards the Turq/orange, as I am having an orange phase.

What you reckon?

Blue/Orange.

It's not too much orange so works well with the small orange flash/stripe on the frame.

That said, surely it's only another three rides before your frame cracks and you get a warranty replacement in a different colour....

(sorry)

To throw a spanner in the works, have you considered the decals offered by the rather excellent Richard Scott Designs?

I have a set of these on my Pikes and the quality is excellent.

1. Take the decals off the wheels.
2. Take the decals off the forks. Leave the '36' on if you must.

It will look far cooler.

Less is more in aesthetic considerations.

Spend the money you have saved on some sweets.

Turq and grey for sure if it was me.

You need the grey on the forks to balance out the huge grey/silver area on the frame. It unifies the black of the forks to the frame better to me.👍

Turq & orange, it needs that touch of orange to make it pop. Turq & grey on black too dull.

Tyres are the biggest offenders, though, and destickering the rims will make them look even worse!

Why all that features crap can't stay on the box/shop hanger, I don't know. Sort it aaaaht, maxxis!

Teal and orange gets my vote if you're buying stickers.

So I did it and I like it, but not sure if a little too much. It certainly ties the front end in better, its just a little more "shouty" than I am used to, usually going for black stealth on bikes.

Looks bang on!
Stealth black with no accent colour is only for ninjas and the unimaginative.

I'm less is more usually, but that looks good. Think stealth wouldn't have been right with that frame
