Those colours look great!

I was gonna start a thread about this. Bitd we never cared about colour coordination and would stick any part or sticker on our bikes, as long as we liked that individual part. Consequently our bikes ended up looking pretty much like that Performer. I've found that the bikes that best capture the essence of old school for me are like this GT, with loads of colours thrown into the mix.

So many bikes these days (including mine) have so much thought gone into the colour schemes that they just don't seem to bring back the good old days. In fact, i'm gonna make an effort to get some more colours on my rides from now on.

each to their own, that's what makes our bikes individual.

BITD though I always colour coordinated my bike. That to me was part of the fun of upgrading the parts on it.

I see what you have done with the GT though with the red, blue and yellow from the logos. But personally think 2 colours on top of the frame colour is enough IMO.

I wouldn't let the wife help you again with the stickers!  :LolLolLolLol:
