Green Chain
Does anybody make a green chain? All I could find was red, blue, purple and pink. Oh, and gold.

Seriously, does anybody make one? This is a deal breaker for my next build, it'll decide between red or green rims/seat/tape etc... Or I guess I could combine 'em and make a X-Mas bike. Anyway I want to do green and black cause red and black seems a little done.

if they did, it'd be a BMX one. they love the anodizing. wipperman can make any color by special order according to their site. dunno if you can only order just one.

When it comes to matching colors, I find that colored chains NEVER match the rest of the parts like one would want.
I'd suggest go with whatever color you want and just get a black chain.

Yeah, good point. The red KMC chain is actually pretty good lookin, but I'd be trying to match the green chain with those oh so bright green Deep V's. I guess I'll just have to live with a badass red and black bike. Thanks.

ya know, methinks that the key to color coordination is not trying to make everything that color. be a bit more subtle. rims, grips, and toestraps are plenty to create that effect. don't be that guy with the gold nagasawa...

Rims and tires are interchangeable.
I'm planning on getting celeste grips, tires and straps for my white Bianchi sometime in the near future.
That's all you really need.
Overkill on a color scheme tends to look a little too put together.

What the hell is with bikes and bling? I don't care if it's on your bike or your neck, a chain is a friggin' piece of metal.

Wait wait wait a minute here. Where the hell did you find green bar tape? They pretty much don't make a decent quality green bar tape and you have to get NOS. There are a few out there but they are closer to celeste.
