What colour ?

Bert UK

Hey all,
I am looking into getting a few Hope parts (Hubs, Wheel skewers, Seat QR, Disc rotors) to bling up my bike but I am really stuck on what colour I should get.

The only colour I can think of that will fit with the bike is black, but then I wouldn't be blinging up the bike and I might as well leave it as it is.

What colour would you choose ?

Cheers,

Bert.

what colour is the crush?

for maximum blingage you need a contrasting colour.

Whoops, forgot that bit. The crush is orange.

The Northern Monkey

Go lairy.

Orange and green.

TheNorthernTrain

orange and red go well

or orange and blue i reckon, but i cant vote for both

Harry182

Stay classy - black, or silver to match the lettering.

MacAndCheese

blue or black, but for bling it has to be a colour IMO so voted blue. Blue is the 'opposite' colour of orange so it's gives the highest contrast.

Duffer

can you buy green parts? i thought they were only for works riders?

silver or black for me - i think orange clashes with pretty much everything else

Wacky Racer

Black is the best match, blue is the best contrast. Anyone says anything different they must get dressed in the dark

MacAndCheese

Because I was bored (and I have an orange colored bike myself) I put togeher 3 colour options that are ok IMO (whoever voted for gold must have a white stick and dog with a yellow jacket.)

Blue:


Red:


Green:

the red would look good if you didn't have blue on the forks, so go red and get some new fork logos done in red or orange as well

or go black, as they say it is calssy, but you should try for bling as priority.

Don't bother with the Hope QR skewers.

Thanks to the pictures from MacAndCheese I have narrowed it down to either black or blue.
Now do I go and bling the bike up, or try and keep it looking classy with black ?

Blue looks good with those forks. Personally would go for black. the green doesnt work at all for me though.

going off the pictures i'd go with blue 8)

jay12

yeah the blue matches with the FOX tail on the forks

bike-a-swan

i was going to say blue until i saw the pictures- got to be green. if you're going to colour co-ordinate go the whole hog and get the fork stickers re-done to match from somewhere like
