Getting my lapierre spicy powdercoated all white, with white forks.

But what colour saddle and grips?

was thinking of either white, brown or black charge spoon and saddle and grips.

I have just swapped the white stem for a black one and the fork lowers for a white set. Pics will be added when complete.
It had white bars/stem/grips but looked stupid and plasticy. You need some contrast

Saddle is OK in white. Mine is a Specialized Alias and just cleans up really well. The grips tend to darken very quickly – depends how anal you are about it looking like new.

Not the best photos im afraid.

I warn you though the white charge grips and saddle do not stay that way for more than one ride…

Oh, go on then!

rockthreegozy, that looks like my bike will be, green decals (our comany log) with brown set.

Looks like my decision is made.

No longer own it

Ah this is bollocks – I’ve posted pictures before and now can’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The pictures are on Flickr – I click on ‘share this’ then on ‘Embed It’ – I copy the code, paste it into the IMG box, but all that appears is this:

" alt="" title="" class="bbcode-image" />

geetee, right click the image in flickr and select "Properties" and copy the img location (in Explorer) or "Copy image location" (in firefox). Paste into the IMG box.

I think the flickr share this thing produces a clicky photo which won’t work with the IMG tags.

gee you want to take the other option number 2 just the photos url.

Thanks guy – let’s see if I can get this to work

Success! Thanks guys – all very helpful. What confuses me is that I have done this before and didn’t use the process you outlined, although that does clearly work. Anyway, now that it works here are a few more:


And this is it before I modified it to reduce travel and weight

My Whyte bike 😉

Only picture I have of them both together!

And just the STD.

And just the Hustler.

My white and Whyte bikes

I’m of the opinion that frames and forks are the only place where you should use colour on a bike. Saddle, grips, bars etc should all be black.

Here’s mine anyway, it now has white SIDs on it and looks awful as it has mudguards.

‘My White Bicycle – Tomorrow (1967) – an absolute psych classic about riding a white bicycle. 🙂

Pinches I do like your Intense – looks like a fun bike, compact, fast, chuckable, more than strong enough. Is it realistically light enough to do 2-3 hour trail rides on?

The very darkest bit of the "DARK SIDE"!!!!!!! 🙄
