Black. For sure.

That has to be the quickest reply i can think of

woot awesome forks... black, everything that is kewl goes with black especially pink

I don't know if it is possible to powder coat forks because that the painted object has to go through heat treatment and i was wondering whether the forks would be damaged in the heat proccess.

it doesnt go through heat treatment in the normal sense of the word, when the powder is sprayed on it gets baked to seal it all up (easiest way to explain it) but not hot enough to alter the metallurgic properties of your fork!

Make sure you get a good practitioner to work on your forks and frame- be wary of the fact that for many blocking off the BB etc just entails literally jamming a bit of split steel tube in on top of the threads/filling the surfaces, things get burred up and some of the blasting medium used in the prep can get in... You'll probably want to chase your BB threads and face your BB shell and headtube, plus brake mounts, afterwards.

Thanks for the comments guys! i think the black would look good! is anyone good with Photoshop to make the frame black and the forks pink?? would help me make my final descision because you never know what it might look like until you actually see something tangable (well atleast visible)

lime green with white decals

 

[wdshiver]

Is there a place where you can make decals?? or just buy some stickers from the LBS

 

[JohnnyB.89]

or u could print them on special paper off ur comp then clear coat over the top or u could find a sign writer and get them to make you some

 

[wdshiver]

I think I will go choice number one

 

[wdshiver]

Ok.... here is the look of it

 

[wdshiver]

What do people think about that?? ^^

What's up with the bloody pink?!? It's not original anymore. Darren Berecloth painted his BigHit pink back in 03/04, that's nearly 3 years ago. Don't you all think it's time for something new?

 

[JohnnyB.89]

i still think fluro green with white pikes would look wikid

 

[moman]

if you can't do the forks...

i'd do the frame a nice dusty blue colour. with the rest of your black components it would look sharp.
