I posted this in the general chat bit but answers have been thin on the ground. I need a decision soon, my mouse finger is itching and I'm still not 10% decided.
Ok here's the deal. I recently bought this bike just to use as a round town commuter. I actually quite liked the idea that as it looked so scabby it would be of no attraction to light fingered people. However now I've started riding it I can't help myself get the urge to pretty it up. Not planning on spending a fortune to make a bike that is a piece of art like some of the photos posted on here.
Anyway to cut to the chase I am going to replace the old knackered Rock Shox with a pair of rigid straight leg On-One forks. And i'm in a quandary what colour to get. I'm going to get the bike powder coated bright orange and liked the idea of a bright frame with all other parts black including the forks. However now I'm getting an urge to get white forks for some strange reason.
Would it look as cool in the flesh as it does in my head? Or am I going a bit odd in my old age?
Opinions please
