In the process of doing a bit of maintenance to my bike at the moment and thinking about adding a bit of colour to it while I'm at it.
The frame is pearl white with mainly black detailing at the moment...
The sort of things I'm getting:
Floating rotors
New flat pedals
then new grips with lock on surrounds and bar ends in the same colour as the pedals and rotors, seat post clamp in matching colour etc. eventually new stem to match as well as some other bits and bobs.
The safe choice would be black... but the other choices are Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Gold, Techno Lime Green, Orange, Purple, Pink & White.
Kind of drawn towards Techno Lime Green or Light Blue for the hell of it What do you think?

Blue to match your anodised fork adjusters.

Hmmm there is another bit of blue detailing on the rear shock too thinking about it.
The red looks a bit pink to me

I'm guessing you mean the light blue rather than the dark blue?

Floating rotors are an upgrade too so it's not just for looks

Think I might go dark blue now, keep looking at them and it looks more manly than the light blue.
Bugger they don't do everything in dark blue, just the pedals and brakes

easton monkey bars and stem
avid juicy sevens
mavic wheels
nice front shocks, revelation or something like that

THIS.
The key is to pick one colour on the bike, and go mental even get a Hope seat clamp.
I chose red based on the stock red hubs that came with the bike.
