Going on a spending binge this weekend to get the parts for the RocketMAX. Still umming and arring over the colour scheme though.

If you have a grey framed bike, stick your pictures up here to inspire me. Ta.

I love a neutral coloured bike, means you can use some coloured components and any colour will work.

Orange hubs and stem cap. Was going to go all black but I like the colour pop so much I’m just going to rebuild the rims rather than get a whole new wheelset.

Almost perfect example of when to stop with the anodised bits on the YT, red seatclamp then stop, perfect.

I'll be honest and say that this would definitely not have been my first choice, but it was a complete bargain. I paid less for the whole bike than I could have bought the parts for.

It has grown on me though and I've avoided the process of tarting it up with coloured bits.

Thanks - a red hope seat clamp is exactly the last bit I need to buy.

black and grey.
I like blue with a lighter grey. Orange is always a good match

Recently built up and can't decide if it needs some colour or not.. quite liking the monochrome / stealth look. Tan walls was another option but the choice with reasonably tough casings is a bit limited..

That was my first thought TBH, but I'm a bit paranoid about all the blue bits not quite matching...

Anyways, moot point now as I've just ordered all the white bits (except for the grip lockrings since neither Uberbike or Superstar have any in stock).

Is that grey enough?

Bit long in the tooth now but still ridden once at week at least (must dig the photo from when it was first built out).

I like understated things and gunmetal grey is one of my fav paints/finishes(colour?) for, bikes, cars, planes, radiators, most things if not anything metal. But not sure about grey, it’s current colour in architecture, new windows in the local houses etc.. it’s just there are so so many stunning colours to be had. Thing I’d not notice a grey bike which is sort of cool but a stunning colours bike, I’d stop and take a pic!
Is it metal or grey...?

That photo further up is making me regret selling my Morf. Hands down one of the best hardtails I’ve ridden and the grey is kinda sparkly in the flesh.

Yes, yes, I know it's got skinny tyres, but I've become very fond of the grey / flouro colour scheme on this bike and especially the wheels. I'd definitely choose this sort of colour combo again! Not for everyone, but it always gets a lot of positive comments, so may be another option:
