@d8mok are you going to get repro decals from Gill in the light blue 96 colour?

Yeh if I go colour choice no1 I will use the OE blue decals.

If I go No2 it’ll be a coin flip between OE blue or silver

What ever no1 is then that’s what I think you should do!

Issue with option 1 is the colour clashes with some components I’ve got ready

But yes I do agree I’d like to have OE decals but want to avoid having to source or paint new bits

Option 2 for me then

 

[d8mok]

To be fair I’m likely better getting opinions before I splurge so …..


Option 1 - Gloss white with blue 96 decals

Option 2 - Candy red with 96 decals but in silver/grey

The bits I’ve gathered so far are

Atac stem in silver (or a silver Syncros )
Hyperlite bars in silver
Controltech post in silver
Z2 (currently white but will be painted)
CK in black or silver campag headset
517 ceramics on M950
Smoke/dart skinwalls
Hope Ti BB or M950

Also have the option to use Silver Kooka cranks but ideally I want Turbines or M950.


If the frame was going white … I think black parts suit better.

 

[Takingabreak]

definitely option 2 with the parts you have

Option 2 for me.

I do like white bikes but Kona's in particular were hit hard with the white powder coating craze! It only really belongs on the 95 Kilauea (imho).

The candy red is classic Hot!

Totally agree. Everyone was doing a white Kilauea during Covid it seemed.

The reason I like the white is it matches well with the 96 decals. See the brochure for the fourplay

I prefer red as a colour. And it would match my components better being silver. But the blue decals clash so much.
