Title: ALLIANT cruiser ADVICE needed!
Post by: generallee on May 11, 2007, 06:09 PM: guys - i have managed to source some alliant cruiser frames from about 2003/2004, NOS - i have black parts to go on one- and i have the choice of two colours, black or orange - which should i go for?
I can also get hold of an alliant billet cruiser frame too... in dark blue, they have funky looking tubes, bit too manic for me i think , but v cool... but would love your advice on which to go for!

However I'd say Orange is as cool as ao orangy thing.
