the neon pink or green were both awesome colours, nothing screams '85 quite like a bit of in your face brightness.

I always liked the neon colours DP did, you could do a mix and match with them   :daumenhoch:

pink or green frame and fork, pink bars and seat post or

green frame, pink forks, green bars, pink seatpost or

a different combination of the above   :LolLolLolLol:

Depends on year I guess? If its an early one then didn't they only come in white or chrome?

smoked chrome looked good.

smoked chrome looked good.

It was actually a nickel/bronze finish John, used only on the Ltd Ed GL+. It costs a fortune to do the process now, double the cost of chrome plating.

Ed got SBD to replicate it, it looked amazing to be fair.  :coolsmiley:

Here you go, this is Cozzfathers from BITD AFAIK, I like it because of it's uniqueness and originality.

IIRC Dave Park offered a re-coating service when he started the neon colours so you could send your parts back and have them redone   :chin:

Remember the oft used phrase these are opinions, it's your bike so it's totally up to you what way you want to do it.  :daumenhoch:

That's very true Rod about Dave Park offering the paint service to all. 2 brothers down the road from me had their white Ammaco Koolstylers taken there by their parents, one had his done pink, one green.

With us being 6 miles away from the factory, these colours popped up all over the place, on Raleigh Bombers, and everything.  :daumenhoch:
