Joshm1991 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hey people!! I bought an Onza T-Pro frame off here not so long ago and a cracked but welded T-Mag frame off my mate as a doner bike!! I've vaguely put it together, took some pictures and started messing round on microsoft paint to try some colour schemes. I had it in my head that it was gunna be matt black with purple anodised maggie mounts, bash guard and silver forks.. But then I had this idea which a lad I know did on his car!! Basically it's just yellow and black warning tape wrapped around the forks.. It looked good on his car's bumpers but I dunno what to think of it on my bike!! Plus I'd then be looking to change the colour of the mounts and bash guard to match!! Sorry if I'm droning on but I wanted you's to get the most info I could give you!! Have a look at the picture and tell me what you think!! And what other schemes I could consider!! Cheers!! Joosh PS: Sorry about the size of the photo.. I've not mastered how to scale it down properly yet!! Just download it if it does you're head in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshm1991 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Words fail me... Hahaaa I figured I'd get some comments like this!! I must admit though it looked okay on my mates car!! And obviously it would look a bit different in real life rather that on microsoft paint!! But yeah.. I think i'll stick to silver forks, black frame and purple mounts and bash guard!! That was easy sorted eh!! Cheers Joosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 if youre going to do anything with the forks, make them the same as the frame and let the purple be the colour that stands out in little areas definate no go with the back/yellow tape...unless youre going on scrapheap challenge with your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'scoolfool Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 unless your going to go all out and get a purple headset and rims i dont see the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I like the black n yellow fork. Loads better than boring black or silver. Undecided on the purple bits. Love the Microsoft paint skills. I do that all the time when i'm building bikes.Oh yeah, loose the red headset spacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchman Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Its good to see you are trying. I am just pondering on Nato Green or Vynal wrap in a Print covered in Smarties???? I would do yours Matt Black with a few purple bits as some one has suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I like the warning tape. It looks pretty cool. Black and yellow is awesome. Shame everyone runs neon colours now, matt black is where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) matt black is where it's at. Hell yeah! Although I do have a bit of a thing for bare metal at the moment. Only on steel frames of course Edited December 14, 2011 by Chris Borneo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
