Pink Cables - Yea or Nay???
So I'm building up a matte black Cannondale CAAD 8, and have noticed these cables are half price at planet x, and they've got a good reputation for cables, but I'm not sure if they will be look good or just silly, so I thought I'd ask you lot....
On a matte black bike, with a black saddle and (almost definitely) white handlebar tape, would the pink cables look good or not???????

Hmmm - if you get some Rapha Recycling Race kit - it would look like team colours ?0

Nooooo, not white bar tape. That'll look manky in no time at all.0

Yeah sounds good without the white handlebar tape. Great for the first five minutes.0

I'd go for the all-black stealth look personally, but if you need to bring a bit of eurocyclist bling to the plot it might look alright, albeit a bit kitsch. (I don't know what that means but it seemed like the right word to use).0

Black, white and pink. It's going to look like a liquorice allsort. See if Bassetts will sponsor you?0

Yay yay yay! Totally go for pink cables. Invisible bikes = invisible personality.0

God how many times!! White bar tape is definitely the only acceptable bar tape colour. Pink cables are awesome too. All black bikes do not make you look bad-ass. Although the pink tape with pink cables would be an acceptable compromise.0

Sorry I had to laugh.0 -
Pink tape!!!
Are you GAY?0 -
I'm definitey not going to go for pink tape.... white tape is (lets say) a given.
And no, I'm not gay.
So, just for the cables by themselves, yea or nay????0 -
I bought some of these when I bought a PX pink alu stealth frame. It's for my wife but having part built it the cable looks ace!!0

NAY ... unless ur riding kit with pink in it ...
why not get white cable outers?
what colour of kit do you have ... try matching the tyres/tape and possibly saddle to this ...
and if u don;t want kit specific ...
if the bike is all black including decals then just make the whole thing black ... if it has coloured decals then match the tape and or cable outers to that
some boy on here was showing off his Look bike recently ... see that for an example (he got the tape wrong tho .. shoulda used white or red to match the decals)0 -
