Titanium frame and green ano, will it work?

[ishaw]

In an attempt to not have to buy more stuff as I'm having a clear out, I've managed to see the wood for the trees and am putting some of my outstanding builds together. One build I'm not going to get round too is the litespeed obed FS, but I want to make sure I have all the bits needed put aside for when the time comes. I have a lot of green ano that I could use (king headset, h2o, skewers, bolts etc) but I don't want to fit it all to find out it looks pants.

So, anyone got any thoughts on whether this colour scheme will work?

Running gear will be m952, black mavic rims, silver white industries hubs and the gold rock shox disc brakes.

Bars, stem and post will also be ti.

Frame is not polished but the Matt finish.

Thoughts welcomed as try as I might I can't decide if it will look good or bad?

Cheers

Alright, my pipedream isn't Ti, but it looks pretty close, and I built it with green ano. And silver bits.

I'd say go for it.

Although it's a steel frame painted in a shade of grey which resembles titanium, I've always liked the look of Woody's Dekerf Generation.

Green and grey looks very well together.

Lose the gold brakes and I think it could be a winner.

build it with the green. all of it!

if you decide when its finished you don't like it you can simply unscrew it all & follow the rest of the sheeple & use red or purple ano on ti instead.

Deffo works as seen here on Otsoc's Bonty Ti Lite

Thanks for the input and examples everyone, it doesn't look bad at all does it? I think I shall proceed onceive completed the dbr ti - went for black on this one with purple pails brakes, so sorry for conforming.

There was someone on here with a Ti Bontrager all done up in green. He was parting it out IIRC. It looked good, and I'm not a fan of green.

I know of a source of cheap green M5 alloy bolts should you decide to loose some weight.
