Pick two colours

xtreem

Bit silly, but in long term, min 1.5 years at the best or 4 years at the worse I'm building my
curent bike to some AM/FR hardtail rig.
It will be changed: fork, frame, rims, grips, pedals, stem, handlebars and brakes.

White will be: fork, rims (but maybe red or green), handlebars, stem and brakes.
So what will look best in your opinion, what will be the other colour for the
frame, grips, pedals and maybe hubs and other bits and peaces.

I'm asking you this because I'm buying soon 661 Comp gloves and I want to buy it to the
colour that my bike will be.

I know, very, very silly, , but what do you say?

Then, you say red, ride_whenever.

Black is ok at the moment, but it doesn't make me noticed me and my bike.

SDK2007

Green is the new white so go for both of them

I think white and blue actually looks very cool, it has to be the right shade of blue mind. Aslong as its not baby blue its cool.

White frame, white forks, white everything with red bits and bobs (headset, BB, brake levers, screws/bolts if you can get them, hubs, q/r levers).

Quite like the white and green Cannondales but black and green is also cool.

And camo of course.

I think that the pastel or 'baby blue' that Orange and Cove use is cool 8)

and you've forgotten the on-one blue, and the blue that ibis use.

So loads of people including those at Orange, Cove, Ibis, Brant at On-One, and the people who buy these bikes also think that 'baby blue' is cool.

It's official then,

C O O L !

Unless you don't like it of course

BROWN.

You see, I like it more white and red. Avatar - Toyota F1.

But with green will look also nice, but I think it wouldn't be that noticable, it won't scream
like the red and blue.
Plus when I bought the bike I had chance to change the frame in withe and green like this one: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2250609/ , but I wasn't impressed.

The baby blue is cool, but it will be very dificult to find parts and accesories with that colour.

And brown, no, no, too muddy, sorry.

But the 661 comp look very nice in green. Still not decided.

My HT frame is a KHS Alite 4000 - white with blue decals. It looks great but gets dirty real quick.

I want to say green... A really bright clean white against a dark, not-quite british racing green metallic, maybe renault vert anglais (which is basically just lighter, nicer BRG) could be very nice. But then green's not a colour that's often been done well on bikes. I'd also say to split the frame colours- sort of like on this:
