Bike Color Scheme
 
So I just picked up an almost all stock IRO White Jamie Roy. I'm looking to make it my own over the next few weeks, upgrading some components, etc.

One of the big ones is color. I've always had relatively stock, boring looking bikes in the past. I've been photoshopping schemes out and I want to know what you all think. The scheme that I get the most suggestions for I'll actually use. Suggest others too and I'll try making more.

Here they are:

Alright, which one?

I like 1 and 8. Something cool to do is mess around with colored spokes. Mixing and matching them. I know prowheelbuilder.com has a few colors

brandonspeck 02-25-09 10:18 PM

I like 14 as far as a functional, sleek color scheme. I'm not one for mismatched wheels, but I kinda dig 4.

xsnakobx 02-25-09 10:22 PM

I like 1 and 12, though I can't tell the bartape color.

cc700 02-25-09 10:26 PM

4 looks great.

maybe with a chrome V up front, or a white V and carbon fork.

JackD 02-25-09 10:29 PM

Do some with matching wheels.

JayNev 02-25-09 10:32 PM

and spokes should be only black and silver.

juggleaddict 02-25-09 10:45 PM

i'm all for 16, the yellow spokes up front with a black rim, vice versa on the back, looks sick xD i don't like blue and green together at all, but that's a personal thing O:-)

craigcraigcraig 02-25-09 10:46 PM

7 and 16 are my favorite.

gospastic 02-25-09 10:52 PM

they all suck. match your wheels for god's sake. actually 10 is acceptable.

NewYorkMantle 02-25-09 11:00 PM

excluding 2, 10 and 14, they're all pretty lame.

ADSR 02-25-09 11:00 PM

6 and 10 are pretty good.

xxxfattonyxxx 02-25-09 11:00 PM

4 and 6 but I agree with matching wheels

bigvegan 02-25-09 11:07 PM

10!

flam 02-25-09 11:09 PM

i think 7 4 and 6 look real tight.

JacoKierkegaard 02-25-09 11:20 PM

Any of those would be better with matching wheels. My personal fave would be blue, like 15 but with a matching wheel up front.

iwegian 02-25-09 11:58 PM

i'd go with 4. the white front rim looks good with the white frame/fork. and green's my favorite color.

metaljim 02-26-09 03:09 AM

0.

inorman 02-26-09 03:13 AM

Alright, looks like 14, 4 and 10 are the most pop so far. I make a mod to 4 to include matching wheels as some have indicated (17). Now, if you only had the choice between these four, which would it be?

Thanks for your help everyone.

Oh yeah, for now, ignore spokes. If you have any suggestions for spoke colors, let me know.

Geordi Laforge 02-26-09 03:15 AM

14
but with black cranks

cc700 02-26-09 03:19 AM

14 with black cranks would be awesome. i'd pick 4 with chrome stuff but the grip tape isn't going to stay flashy and it needs more than a rear v to compliment it.

ljholland 02-26-09 06:53 AM

10 - white out! Get a white chain too....and some white pedals

NewYorkMantle 02-26-09 08:01 AM

14 with black cranks

JacoKierkegaard 02-26-09 11:44 AM

10's hot, although a little ghost-bike-ish. Second place would be the aforementioned 14 with black cranks.

seedubs1 02-26-09 11:57 AM

4 rocks. I like the matching rear wheel with the bar tape.
