    What? How? Colors? What do you want?

    Ok, I have always picked out my own color schemes each year for my builds and kits. I think this year I will give the public a chance to pick. Here is the low-down. I will be going with a Yellow Transition TR-450 frame, big thanks to the guys at http://www.transitionbikes.com/Home.cfm. I am letting you guys pick the colors for the Bars, Stem, Seat Post, Seat Clamp, Crank Bolts, and Wheels from www.loadedusa.com. Please feel free to be creative with this build. This bike will be built up in March and a full write up with pictures and video will follow with the build.

    Important: I don't waste anyone's time on here, so I am asking you not to waste my time. I look forward to see what you guys come up with.

    See colors available below:

    Black looks great w/ that yellow frame. Black everything with the yellow frame is what I would do.
    Like this, but in reverse:

    Old school like DirtRag race results.

    Please understand Loaded has a lot of color options. All Black parts are a little played out. I do greatly appreciate your thoughts, but going all Black is to easy and to normal. The Fork will also get Custom Color Decals to match as well.

    Keep it coming and thanks,

    Cecil

    I think the dark grey color would be sweet and offset the bright yellow nicely.I wouldn't do more than 2 colors with that frame color. Have fun!

    This is literally, in all seriousness, the gayest fvcking thread ever started on this website.


    You better be on mushrooms right now and just fascinated with shiny objects.


    That said, a simple bumblebee colorway evident in the previous examples not only shows pizazz but that you may be cute, but you also have bite!

    A natural anodized silver with red and blue highlights is not only tasteful, but shows an appreciation for heritage and knowing and appreciating your roots!

    Mix greens with bright warm colors like red, orange and yellow to show that in the natural environment, there's flair to be found........like a TIGER!!! GRRRRR!!!


    Seriously..........the gayest thread this site has ever seen.

    I think the only viable option at this point is to just use ALL the colors and of course custom paint...........

    why not just use all of them and go "rainbow" it seems u want to promote the products and color choices, rainbow will do that the best imo, although it may surpass the uglyness of the "tatoo" demo 7
