Blue or Red Lines?

Post by silentRVF »

Here are the options I have:

What do you guys think? I'm thinking translucent blue or red lines with silver fittings. (Try not to be overwhelmed by my editing skills :P )

If it was my choice on that bike, with the 2 options you've I'd probably go for the red ones. The blue is too bright and doesn't really match with anything, whereas the red sort of goes with the mudguard.

If it were a choice of any colour I'd have clear tbh :peace:

Jono...you are obviously a keen dude..

But why not make your own mind up man? So many inane questions about your bike. it is yours..you decide.

Should I shag bird no1 or bird no 2? Should I drink coke or lemonade?

Maybe I'll have a shit at 10 O'clock or maybe 11 O'clock.

lol..come on man.. :tits: :sex: :up:

You tell me? :whistle:

haha fair point Mark. Ultimately, even if 1000 people tell me to choose an option, I would still choose what I like most.. I'm just trying to make sure I'm not going for a colour which is indefinitely going to cheapen the look of a bike that I am putting a lot of effort into..

Just wanted to see what you guys thought, since this is the only online forum I know of that isn't overrun by tossers.

Aye, this is a quality forum..

reading back that post looked a bit harsh, so apologies for that..but you took it in jest, which is how I intended..

I reckon clear coated shiny lines are the way forwards...

No offence taken.
Hope the weather in your part of the world is better than what Sydney is suffering from at the moment.

I've been studying for the past couple weeks, and it's quite consistantly been warm. As soon as I walk out of my last exam, surely enough it starts to rain. And it's forecasted to keep raining for the next couple days :down: :down:

I think you should go with a smoked braided line.

:plus: on that.
Even though I went for red Goodridge lines, I wouldn't mind having the Smoke stuff with Ti ends from Spiegler!
