Colour scheme - Cannondale Trail SL

Craig24

Hi Guys,

After a bit of advice on which colour scheme to go for. Not sure if to pick up some more blue bits (probably Hope bits so they match up with the bash guard) also have a blue stem which isn't easy to see from the picture, or if to swap out the blue Hope bash guard for a red one, and get some red Hope bits (seat clamp, stem, etc..)

Advice would be great! Finding it hard to picture it.

Do you want it to match your eyes, favourite jersey or that new handbag you just bought?

Congratulations on the most metrosexual post of the year.

It's a mountain bike. In this country, five minutes in to most rides it will all be brown.

Nothing wrong with wanting your bike to look good, but is this really something you need advice about? After all, isn't that the point of blinging up your bike - self expression?

Red.

You're all so quick to judge - he might be colour blind and so need advice to avoid clashing colours!!

Clearly you need the blue sidewall XC pros rather than red! Also the frame has red highlights and you have a red centre on the front disc......

Other than that I am a function over form guy, black matches everything or so the wife tells me every time she buys an LBD!

Craig24

Suppose I walked right into that one! Fair enough! :oops:

Thanks for the one constructive reply! I picked it up second hand this way, so wasn't sure to pull the blue bits off and swap out with red, I think I may swap the blue bits with black as and when I see them pop up on eBay.

Does it need to match the colour of your handbag?

Or would you rather it match the colour of your tampon?

He did mention he was thinking of some red Hope bits so this might work

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't sound like a bad idea, I quite like it! All I was after was opinions, cheers

Stealth is the way forward

I think the decals are under lacquer though, so not sure how easy it would be.

CitizenLee

Ah, impossible in that case

Could get it vinyl wrapped
