Odd question to ask but I have a good mate who loves to decorate his bike in the most weird colours, he has this thing for coloured parts e.g. spacers, skewers and seatpost clamps
His B-day is soon what other ideas have people got for under £20 for small coloured parts like the ones above?

Carbon fibre, it's all nonsense. Drink beer. Ride a steel bike. Don't be a ponce.

e.g. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=bmx+ ... &_osacat=0

FWIW Clee Cycles has a good range of coloured anodised parts from the likes of KMC - but you have to remember that this is so-1992 - for those of us who are old enough to remember the fixation with purple anodising back in the day..Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

I've had some great stuff over the years from here: http://www.tastynuts.com/Products/110400020

jagwire do coloured cable sets for road bikes.
kcnc jockey wheels
derraileur bolts
bolt kits from tastynuts
nipples (although he probably would appreciate having to de-lace and re-build his wheels!
then the usual suspects, external bb, headset, spacers, stem, seatclamp, post, hubs, chainring bolts.
I'd probably go for the jockey wheels, they look ace and usually need replacing!0 -
great ideas thanks guys, liking the comment about back to 1992! funnily enough I was born then!Carbon fibre, it's all nonsense. Drink beer. Ride a steel bike. Don't be a ponce.0

Another vote for KCNC anodised jockey wheels. They're completely pointless but I love them
