I'm considering a black and blue build and was hoping folk could show anything that they've built similar.
Essentially it's a race build starting with a black frame and forks, the rest is a blank canvas. I know black and blue isn't a typical colour way, but perhaps that's the appeal... ???

Chris, I've tried a few times with this. You need to have plenty of blue in the decals and chuck chrome bars, poat and cranks at it would be my advice.
Got a black f&f with loads of blue in progress right now. If it looks poo I will have the f&f redone in white but it was supposed to be a budget build. ..... :crazy2:
-
Spen, I was thinking blue rims, hubs, chainring, seat post clamp and grips with chrome bars, seat post and cranks and a black seat. The frame can only be black and the decals are plain white apart from the head tube decal which is primarily blue :D
Share some pics if you can :daumenhoch:

I'm building this up with mostly black parts although will have polished rims and hubs...

Nice Marty, be sure to share once you're done :daumenhoch:
Still not quite my predicament though with a blue frame...

Yeah, I think a black frame with blue parts would look pretty good but the balance is going to be tricky :-\

I love you lot. NOT.
Fractured my skull in 6 places Chris and it still hurts now on cold days due to the plate holding it together. Yes, I was even better looking before, but chicks love scars....... :2funny:
I'll dig out pics of the black frame with blue bits I did and get some of the one I'm working on when it's done :daumenhoch:

Ok I'm convinced black and blue works, well maybe not for Spen, thanks for sharing some fine examples, I'd still love to see more but I'm taking the plunge on the wheels next week.

Not seen the BaldBmxer bunch of Bassetts in a long while , and not many around this side of the pond :-\
