Show me your titainium bike please

Got a nice new Ti bike. Its a bit dull though. Why kit manufacturers think black is good I don't know. cheap I guess. anyway it needed brightening up. Your pics of colour schemes of things like tape, saddles, bottles cages would be good.
Tyres don't count as no one makes a good road tyres in 25mm and coloured.

You need to post a picture of it "as is" before we could possibly spend your money for you :-)

Here is my Van Nicholas Euros 50cm. I bought the frame last year from Planet X for £499:00 and built the bike up with Shimano 105 group set and Fulcrum racing 5 wheels and finished the bike off with a red hope headset seat post clamp and quick release wheel levers

I agree, seems very classic if done correctly.

62 forum pages of ti road bikes, many colour schemes:

EDIT: actually, almost all of them silver and black since ti and black is a match made in heaven imho

Stupid question - what's the advantage of Ti?

Black should be restricted to tyres and maybe a Brooks. I want pics of colour.

You're quite demanding. Has it occured to you that you could do an Google image search and find dozens of examples of ti bikes in all different colour schemes? Or do you just want others to do all your leg work?
