Have you noticed how there is a slick on the front and a knobbly on the back.
Shouldn't it be the oter way around although if its a Carrera Halfrauds probably built it wrong

Please god no! :shock:
IMO if you're going for such a bright frame colour you should keep the details subtle. You could get away with red seat clamps, QRs and head set and BB cups I reckon, but that pedal/crank combo is horrible!
+1 only have red rims on a white, red or black frame, like i have on my maxlight

Each to their own, but you do see quite a lot of bikes nowadays that have migraine-inducing colour schemes. Some bikes have such gawdy colour schemes that it makes you wonder if they've been done as a joke.
I have to admit that I do like bright coloured frames sometimes (pink, orange, green etc.), but it tends to be the over-the-top finishing kit that takes it too far and spoil things (imho). That said, I've always wanted a low-profile matt black frame too, which I will one day have. I think bright-coloured frames look better with an understated finishing kit, personally.
However, you should have the colour scheme that you want because it's yours and you're the one enjoying it. Have fun!0 -
Tone it down! Too brutally colourful. Too much of a clash.0

Had a rethink, thanks for helping me see the Elf / Sant colour scheme was bad. I am ditching the XTR Crank / Red crank skins / Red redals - too much!
Raw (not polished, bead burnished so satin finish) metallic XTR grey front and rear, red and black pin stripe.
Better?0 -
Needs more red like pedals and wheels. Stay away from red cranks though.0
