Post by: stidds on July 29, 2011, 10:05 PM: The parts run down is great and the look is good, but I really do not like the red on it. It just confuses the eye with so many colours next to each other. If those red parts were chrome/silver/polished then it would work.

But that is solely my opinion.

I respect your opinion but... Blue and Chrome (and possibly a splash of gold) has been done to the death on GT's of this age and it's got a bit of the 'same ol same ol' feel about it, albeit nice.

As the red is the second biggest colour on the GT roundal logo it deserves a place in the colour scheme and sets it apart from the 'two-tone' brigade, nice and colourful just like the good old days ;)

Just needs a red lever.

good point made, way to many bikes seem to be built on here to please others rather than for themselves

I agree the red is part of the colourway of GT, but you don't need to use every colour on a decal, just choose a couple. Otherwise it gets really cluttered.

Thats exactley what i thought too but i put some Haro MS3 on there to see and it just looked too slim if that makes sense but i definately agree that 1.75 comp 3s would look better or at least a skinny on the rear but i haven't got any at the moment.

I totally see what people are saying about too many colours look a bit much but as Steve said above Blue & Chrome (whilst it looks awesome) has been done so mant times before so i wanted something a bit different and I love the look of this bike.

Cheers

Adam

Post by: dordymush on July 31, 2011, 05:33 PM: never been a fan of coloured tyres on a racer and the chain does look a bit wrong.
