Frame Colour Suggestions w/ Alex G6000s
Postby nathann » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:43 am
I have frames that are ready to be sandblasted and powdercoated or rattle canned but I'm stuck on what colour to do the frame.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

It really depends upon the result you are after ... and if you can trick your bike out with bits in the right colours to match.
The advantage of lime green is that lime green tires look better than white tires. With a white frame and blue anodised rims, most people would go to black tires out of convenience and accessibility.

You can easily change the wheels but not the frame.
If you look carefully enough it's a man with blue-rimmed spectacles, with whispy eyebrows (the seat and the bars) and a pointy small nose.pathobo wrote:

Might just go black rattle can as it's just my 'bad' bike I'll probably use for commuting to uni. Also, what do you guys think of a raw frame with these?

My personal preference would be: White -> Black
(ie -> = shades in between albiet gloss, metallic or matte)
