Title: Black and blue build inspiration...
Post by: Jaan on May 03, 2013, 09:38 AM
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:

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:
