what colour deep v would you...
 
... put on your brand new bright red frame. seriously.. a red frame is hard to complement. scared bright colours would be too gimmicky, think red rims might be over the top.. but love the look, and sense of security, of deep vs...

Shiznaz 11-01-06 10:07 AM

Get puke coloured rims and then puke all over them for extra pukeyness before everyone you ride it around pukes.

But seriously man. Get whatever the hell colour Deep V's you want. Seriously. Or get a regular rim that comes in silver or black and don't bother with this most difficult of questions.

queerpunk 11-01-06 10:08 AM

what color is the text on the frame?
also, black, silver, and you're gonna get a lot of snark for this. me, i restrained myself. but others... head's up.

alexcm 11-01-06 10:12 AM

baxtefer 11-01-06 10:16 AM

If you care about aesthetics do yourself a favour and get some nice respectable black or silver rims that won't look totally ******** when you switch them to another frame.

aesthetics (also spelled esthetics or æsthetics) is a branch of value theory which studies sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment or taste.

how does your bike smell? how does that make you feel?

btw, silver.

Cynikal 11-01-06 10:23 AM

Get plain silver and polish them. Then you can roll up on that Escalade and shout...I've got 29's biatch!

christmas is coming -- green

explody pup 11-01-06 10:28 AM

Colored bike parts = trash. Another vote for silver. And although you didn't ask, Open Pros.

"Are you a Louis Garneau? Because I see U and I together."

ahaha thats enough

I'm embarrassed I even clicked on this thread. I wonder what I thought I'd find? I wonder what answer the OP is looking for? Aren't all the colors available on the Velocity website? Is it supposed to be fun playing "dress up" with somebody else's bike? This could be the most confusing thread I've seen in awhile.

baxtefer 11-01-06 11:00 AM

^ complement, not compliment.

mattface 11-01-06 11:04 AM

I'd probably do black machined or silver with an edge to black. I'd also prefer Open Pros to deep V.

jyossarian 11-01-06 11:05 AM

In keeping w/ Christmas, I vote white. Then paint a helical white stripe on the seattube so it looks like a candy cane or a barber pole.

The best.

Don't they come uncolored? Otherwise, a lime green is dope.

phoenix 11-01-06 11:14 AM

I would probably run white V's a red frame with white branding.

That's admirable. I care about aesthetics too, to a certain degree. The thing is, do you also care about going fast? Because deep-v's weigh a ***ing sht ton, which, in my opinion, negates any of their aero/aesthetic advantage (all of that rotating weight will certainly effect acceleration).

Is it a nice frame? Maybe you owe it to yourself to get something with a little style AND some performance value. Deep-v's are more than just passe, they're counter-productive.

sloppy robot 11-01-06 12:07 PM

yes.. those things are way too heavy.. if youre pushing 280 or so.. maybe go for it..aside from that they are useless

as for aero.. the MIT pursuit team nerds claim you get more aero out of not wearing gloves then you do from a deep v wheel which means, not much

queerpunk 11-01-06 12:12 PM

aeroheads come in colors, too. get those.
