here are a few pictures of the bike. I'm getting new forks and cranks within the next few days which are both available in white. do you guys think I should stick with black parts of get them in white and have the bars powdercoated white also?





edit: Rhythm cranks and Fit forks

I like white parts on bikes many people seem to love the black now-a-days, but personally I'm not buying into the dark ages of BMX. I like bright flashy blingy things that go pop. Just my personal preference.

I'm more partial to white parts. My Clayborn was black with all white components and I loved it.

I am too but I'm on the fence with this one because it would still leave me with a black gear, stem, seat post, clamp, and tensioners

and all those parts can be purchased in white. Snap has seat clamps, tensioners, gears, stems all in white powder.

lol I wish I had the funds to buy all new stuff. I believe profile has all that stuff available in white too

Actually I did notice the paint job. It looks nice! I've painted many cars different color candies by HOK. But you asked if I liked white or black and I said white because I like things to pop. And right now the only thing that grabs me in that pic is the frame.

Its HOK candy raspberry over a HOK gold base

How about some ano. gold parts?
doug118
Thought about it but then I'd be copying this man. our frames are very similar in color. the only difference is that it looks like his was done over a darker base and he's local so no can do on the gold parts. I wish I had thought of the idea before he did though because it does look killer

edit: his is actually candy red and mine is candy raspberry, but still too similar to go with the same unique color scheme

Yeah that is sweet. How about flat out chrome or polished? But I would go white to make that paint pop.
