frame color

[chrome frame]

Chrome plated Cro-Moly! No stickers, no paint. This is my old rode bike that I am rebuilding. Brooks saddle (antique brown) and cork tape coming soon. The plan is that everything will have the 'natural' colors of the materials...preferably the silver of metal. I only wish I can find clear tires!

Hmmmm... interesting. Will you be using silver bar tape? Or leaving the grips bare?

Natural cork (cork colored cork)....should match the Brooks saddle well enough. Ever see clear bar tape? I haven't....might be cool but for sure not as comfy as cork. After it is rebuilt, I will slowly replace MANY of the components. The handlebars, stem, fork and wheels are on the list as well as just about everything else. I am basically putting together a new bike on my old frame while having something to ride....seems like a good plan and a very rewarding project. The trick is to find the correct parts for the bike. Of course I'm looking into a lot of Ti stuff and comparing it to its aluminum players. I'm very interested in the Bold Precision seatpost:

Not much in the way of forks other than CF. This is a trouble area and I may just have to go CF on this one....any ideas?

Gone totally against all my principles today and ordered a red and white Specialized Allez Comp frame in the zebra design. Said i would never own a white bike but i simply couldn't resist the temptation. Looks in your face and mean, especially with the unusual looking seat tube design.
Yet to see a red and white zebra though!

Always love the Giant ONCE TT team yellow bikes, finally got one in yellow and realize how difficult it is to keep it clean, they have people to wash and wax thier bike after every ride but I've to do everything myself, my next bike would definately be black!

Actually mine is blue red and yellow.

Mine's a sweet matt black with yellow. Used to have black and yellow tyres too, but now the rear one's black only

Red and blue seem to be the most attractive to me.

I love my Team Zebra Sprcialized Allez Comp. I've also seen pic of Mario Cipollini riding a tiger striped bike.

Any more "animal" paint jobs out there.

I like all black but my new NRS is silver blue and white.

I like almost any solid color or even 2 tone bike. More then 2 colors and it can get too busy looking

My new Specialized Roubaix Elite is glossy Silver with black lettering. The ride sold me on the bike. The apperance was icing on the cake.

Does the roubaix absorb shocks as much as they say? If so, it sounds like a seriously good investment.
