Spitfire. Was going totally stealth, but then a bargain 2nd hand set of Pro4/Flow Mk3 in orange changed my plans. Onrange seat clamp and Santa’s has bought me a mew set of E4’s in Orange.

Oh well. I can always desticker the rims and fork.

Black Bigtop with temporary brown bits

The rule is – frame and fork can be a colour, everything else black or silver. Otherwise you end up with something like hypnonewt’s total taste bypass.

Here are my Transitions, spoiled by Chromag not having any entirely black bars available-

Excuse the image… arrived this week and no chacne to ride

I expect to hear about a lot of blind STWers shortly. 🙂

Black frame with red bits such as seat collar, headset spacers, bb, lock on collars looks good IMO. Hubs, floating rotors, spoke nipples also if you want more accents

Not black, but close enough…

Haha my view is as long as you have the bike skills to back it up you can be as lairy as you want with bike colours. Took me a long time to build up my riding skill to clown bike level 😉
