Mixing red and blue

[mattbrown]

I had an unknown ti frame a few years back I put red and blue ano on.

Thanks for the last two build pics, that's the sort of mix I'd probably end up with. Both look decent so I may take the plunge rather than the safer red black option. I may try both and see which I prefer too. Though that would require time.....

It can work, but you need to carefully offset the shades and the positioning of the respective colours.

In this case, red nipples rear, blue front, and the classic patriot CK headset.

I think it is highly dependent on the frame. I tried red and blue on a black frame and it didn't work; but on white it looked much better.

In the end I went for one colour for ano details (red) and black components (white frame)

Blue hubs with red skewers does look cool though (per the MCSA above)

I'm starting to visualise how it might look thanks to the various examples.

I'll be giving it a go I think.

My 1993 GT Zaskar LE (my very first bike build bitd) was kitted out with green anodised U.S.E. straight handlebars and matching seatpost, also U.S.E. branded. Then it also had red anodised Topline cranks and silver Pace chainrings.
Forks were Pace RC35's. Most other parts were mostly silver anodised. It looked quite handsome with those colours, to be honest. I was planning on spending some money on new wheels with red hubs, but didn't get round to it. The Zaskar frame was ball burnished so it made the green and red stand out nicely!
