So, as some of you may know, the forks on my XTC are definitely the wrong colour:
Since that picture was taken, I've removed the blue from the crown and it's now silver, but a bit pitted despite lots of polishing, so will need to get the crown done as well.

Grey lowers (color of the frame) and Red crown.
Red lowers will be too much red...

Technically, this is colour coordination advice as the decision as to what to purchase has already been made, as has the selection of which supplier to provide the aforementioned service.

I would go all White with red and silver decals or if you go red go for some retro judy style stickers0

Black crown, red lowers, and ditch that stem for one of average length! Waaay too long.0

Is any advice in the Crudcatcher really good advice?
Colour coordination is a tough one, so I remain neutral on this matter... although the "Grey lowers (color of the frame) and Red crown" combo seems to make sense0 -

Only in the Sheeps & Yeehaa thread, but they're far to busy with important stuffs for me to bother them with something as trivial as this...0 -

19 for the lowers, 34 for the crown?
My road frame is 46 and TBH, it's a bit too pink/metalic for forks.0 -
MTFU. Mud is a good colour.

I'd go black and black, at least then you'll know they'll match your wheels.

In the original photo, the crown is the blue bit at the top of the forks, the lowers are the blue bit at the bottom that the wheel's attached to.0
