Help needed with custom badlander build please chaps :)

(1/5) > >>

threaders:
Hi.
I'm a bit of a newbie and I'm trying to do this mrd badlander justice. It's started of ok and I picked it up from the powdercoaters today.

I then ordered some custom decals from del which I thought looked sweet and I had a load of green parts left from an abandoned earlier build


I then added some yellow ez bars that I had but it's from here on that the project declines :-\ I think I've over done the yellow but I'm not sure what to keep and what to change.

I don't think I've ever seen any blue bars the same shade (ral5015) so maybe change the grips and levers? I thought these wheels were going to look badass but I was wrong there too. I like the tyres but I think the yellow rims look a bit crap. There only cheapos and I thought if they looked good I would get yellow zeds but now I don't know what to do and again I don't think I've seen any rims that same shade of blue. Maybe blue ogks as the tuffs are too dark but I seem to remember some lighter blue tuffs that were reissued a year or so ago.

Let me know your thoughts, I just put the crank there to see how it would look with the rest of the bike , I haven't fixed it up. Any ideas on colours and parts would be great and if anyone has done a similar colour way I'd like to see pics. Cheers Jonathan:)

i like it the way it is, i would probably put a yellow laidback seatpost on and a green seat.

CustardLips:
Looks funky.  :daumenhoch:

threaders:
Mm it is growing on me a little. I'll try a yellow seatpost and maybe a blue seat and blue grips with blue pedals. I thought maybe blue ogks or peregrine masters but I'll try out the other bits first. Cheers fellas  :)

Liking this J.
The colours are bouncing off each other.
Deffo do as John suggests.
Yellow chain and cables .
Those spokes on the zeds best be tight.. :LolLolLolLol:
