there are WAY too many silver, black, red, & white bikes out there. Go for the yellow, so you stand out in the crowd!

if you don't mind standing out, the yellow with black lettering has nice contrast, looks bright and sharp.

with your black parts, you're not overdoing it. just don't get anymore yellow parts on the bike. keep just the frame yellow, get black for everything else, and your bike will definitly be a looker.


if you're not a yellow type of guy and would feel awkward riding one, then i would go for the silver with red.


the plain silver is nice too, but it's true, there are a lot of silvers out there. i'd rather have a gunmetal gray color over a plain silver.

So are you ordering it off of e-bay? The same seller that has the other three colors also has an awesome blue/white color...

Ok. If blue's a choice I vote that. I like the yellow, but the blue looks nice. You don't see alot of that shade of blue on bikes either. Blue, silver, white. Nice combo.

I agree the blue/white/silver is nice, just never been crazy about a blue bike.

The wheels as the decals say are Element Disc. Good price ($179.00) and quite light for the money. The fork is a Manitou R7 Super. I have everything except the frame and yes I'll most likely buy one from the seller on ebay. I've delt with him on some road bike components and is a good seller. Don't think I'll have much more then $800.00 into the whole bike once I get it together.

Ahh, I have never heard of the Element Disc before... I like the all black stanchions of your fork. If that Blue Giant is on the table I would say that one, as it would look excellent with the decals on your wheels. That would look mighty fine!


Plus I was really hot on a 2007 Blue Rocky Element, still am actually, but it's not to be....

Nice looking RM Element. The blue is growing on me. Below is a link to the wheels. I paid $179.00 including shipping on ebay for new ones.

Go with the most obnoxious colot combination possible and make it even better by wearing obnoxious non matching colors when you ride that way theyll be so distracted thinking about how "ugly" your setup is that you will blindside them with your sheer riding prowess and shut them all up........

Interesting concept. Sort of like a pink Nextel Cup race car. They're so busy looking at the ugly color they won't even notice you passed them.

Lots of silver bikes out there dude. Go for the Blue & white or Yellow & white. Both will look rad with the black fork and wheels.
