What do you reckon?

Flourecent pink all black parts?

Bright yellow all balck parts?

Or a light grey front with a thin white stripe then the ass-end red? Might keep the chainstays chrome like a haro?

Post by: musicmitch on December 09, 2005, 05:00 PM: I'm liking the black..Looks symetrical and ballanced now..I might take this up for a living hey..I could start a t.v. programme and call it what not to ride..If I do I'll be around to a few peoples houses.. :santa_cheesy:

Post by: Peanut on December 09, 2005, 05:29 PM: I like the black but I want this bike as a winter ride as I'll only be using it to and fro work, so as it's dark, black might not be such a good idea. I'm also going to use it in all weathers so I'm gonna need thick chunky tyres, I was even pondering disc brakes and tho I hate to say it, lights.
