Post by: meticulous on April 24, 2011, 04:22 AM: defo black tyres, then it needs something else white to go with the rims, like white seat and grips or even white cranks....

Yeah what he says! Looks ok but to much White that has no follow up anywhere else. IMO

:LolLolLolLol:

PK Ripper on Z's good idea :daumenhoch:

Black and gold

OR

White and blue

Two classic colour combo's ,,, but not all together :-\

Get some black Z's and tyres

Like Dordy did when he won BOTY 2006

Now that's the way to do it

Post by: bodamus on April 24, 2011, 02:50 PM: Some nice parts but they just don't go together

I would have black pedals, blue seatclamp, blue wheels, black tyres that would balance it out and look killer.

Post by: bodamus on April 24, 2011, 02:51 PM: I would lose the Hutch Stem aswell as it doesn't suit it in my opinion and put a Blue Suntour one on.

It' all trial and error buddy, you will get it to look right :daumenhoch:

Like you said, you have a lot of other parts, just need to see which works best :coolsmiley:

Love the Z's and the tyres that are fitted to them, just not working so well on the Ripper is all 8) ;)

Cheers,

Paul.
