More Colour advice

Changing my frame in a couple of weeks for a Mmmbop.

I'll be keeping all my existing bits and just moving them over (new headset and seatpost will be ordered in a couple of days).

Now, I think the Blue frame would look better than the green one. Opinions?

Also, assuming I go with the blue frame, what colour grips? Been looking at the superstar grip builder and thinking either Orange with blue lockrings, or blue with orange lockrings.

Not that I expect anyone to care, but I'm bored!

green for sure. The blue one is boring... I thought you were a magpie!

Green one with all your orange bits

Lol, thing is, I KNOW the blue frame will look good. But the Green frame could either look awesome, or "gopping", and I'm not sure I'm feeling that brave.

Green. That is all.

Mmmm, Mixed bag of replies so far then.

Any chance one of you photoshoppers could have a go at re-colouring the 456 fame in the Ragley Blue and Green for me?

I know the Mmmbop is a different frame and all,but it'd at least give a rough indication.

Cheers

...like i said.....i'll shoot you myself

Oh no, I don't like that at all! That's awful!

Think blue is definitely the way forward with this one.

yep, it doesn't look right with the orange bits, if it was white and black parts then that would look better. the blue won't look that much better i think

Hmmm, I wonder if Ragley will do me a custom colour (black).

Blue. Blue. Blue.

Orange + Green = horrid.

Orange + Blue = 8)

I agree, but it's not just Orange + Blue.

It's Orange + Blue + White + Black

What I do know is that the blue that Ragley show on their site, and the ACTUAL blue of the frame are totally different.

I likes

not sure about orange with either the green or the blue tbh

its gonna look lairy either way!

cat_with_no_tail

What I want is someone to photoshop my 456 in that colour.

I think it would work nicely, but having seen that godawful green one, I want to be sure.

Ragley supply their bikes with the stickers unattached, wouldn't cost you much to get the frame painted before you build it up, what about, maybe......brown?

Mynameisdann

Orange just doesnt look good on brown

Just been on CRC and seen that the Mmmbop frame has now been reduced to £154 :shock:

At that price, it'll not be around for long. Best get this show on the road.

I'd buy one just to hang on the wall at that price!

jay12

just buy it and if something spray it or sell the orange parts

cat_with_no_tail

Well, I'm hoping to pay for the frame, Joplin post, and FSA Orbit Extreme Pro headset today (all from CRC).

So we'll soon see if it looks any good :P
