Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - paint scheme idea...

what do you guys think...

silver frame.... and then pain the fork ends black like 3-4 inches up... and the rear triangle black from the drop outs in like 3-4 inches...?

or just leave it all silver? or should I paint other things black as well? like maybe the bottom bracket?

currently my bike is orange (I believe the color is called 'pumpkin'..haha) and I 'm sick of it..plus its beat to hell.. I think silver will look good with the spinergy's... and its gonna match my car b/c my car is silver with dark gray wheels..haha..

I'm thinking of painting my bike rustoleum bronze.

I think a Faux Granite Finish bike would be pretty sweet...

I just finished a very similar scheme on mine. It was just going to be silver, but I found some black at the end, and just used it halfway up the forks and on the bottom of the rear triangle. I like it--go for it!

Going from orange to silver is going backward in my books.

How about a nice neon pink to yellow fade with contrasting splatters? ;)

bikes are only as stylish as the rider (.. isnt there an equation that states this?) --
i think you should grow a rat tail and start sporting some eighties 'razorblade' sunglasses and homemade 'shark bite' bike shorts and thick, white cotton, knee-high socks pulled all the way up with red stripes at the top and a set of original black reebok pumps with florescent yellow piping and ny knicks orange-and-blue laces and an old stretched out turqoise tie-dye t&c surf gorilla tanktop that hangs down below your nipples. your bike would be so awesome... i know mine is.

Primer grey and Bondo. You're not a real American with anything else.

I like Lucklust's idea of the fleckstone. Then if it's a SS you could get rid of your brakes and ride around town stopping by dragging your feet and yelling "Yabba Dabba DOO!" I think it sounds like a lot of fun.

Fleckstone, meet the Fleckstones . . .
