That has been said by some others who heard my plans beforehand - the frame nearly ended up baby blue as well but I thought that was overkill

Beauuuuutiful

agreed i think it would look better with the blue bits in silver

Awsome! I'm in the 'love it' camp for this one. I think the blue looks fine as well, & the Girvin fork looks f'ing excellent.

looks good,blue is fine.I think the forks spoil it.Get some blue sids on it
