Silverfish, I like your work, always so clean.
But to be honest, I'm not sold on overuse of purple. Its taking a cool element/idea, and not knowing when to stop with it.
Like too many wings and spoilers and stickers on a car.
To each his own of course, I think the choice of parts is spot on.
Another vote for full bike line up shot!

Thanks Rumpfy, that is much appreciated. If I was true to my 1992/3 self I should have covered the bike in stickers as well
I might try it with silver rings but that wasn't really the point of the build. It was to build a bike that was true to it's 92 heritage. Maybe the 3DV rings are too much, but it generated a lot of attention at the show this weekend and I think it looks better in the flesh than it does in the pictures. The irony is I NEVER would have specked purple BITD, I was way too cool for that
I need to get some better pics sorted that are closer to how the bike actually looks in natural light. Am slammed at work so it's gonna be a couple of weeks b4 I can do that...

My thoughts are identical to Rumpfy's, but I have to take on the comment about it's heritage. The ARC was a race bike, but I can't think of any ARCs or race bikes from the era that went as far as anodized chainrings. Even Tinker's Adroit, which over a whole other rainbow, featured silver rings.
F.R.O.
