You've really thought about it a lot haven't you?

It's not for me. Anodising should be red, blue or gold by law.

In moderation I don't hate it, but I think on large items such as seatpost or bars, or cranks it looks pants. The only case I've seen where it didn't look pants was that purple anodised s-bike on here....somehow the fact the purple components are against a purple frame makes it ok.

I think this actually pretty true of any anodised parts. If there are too many coloured bits then they just tend to distract from the bike. Anodised bolts are where its at for me. Preferably red or blue. Coloured anodised hubs or stem maybe ok. I don't know why but I particularly dislike purple handlebars.

I'm a sucker for coloured headsets, red on one bike, blue on the other. And both have red Hope seat post claps.

I should also admit that the one with the red seat post clamp blue headset combo also has red gear cables and XTR grey brake cables.
And blue bars.

It is a white frame though (with yellow decals). Oh and red forks, and while I remember blue tyres.

Maybe I do like coloured bits after all
