Got a segment RS 2016 on its way , curious on how it looks any pics. All black components too other than Renthal bar and stem.
Not a fan sorry , Orange bikes should be bright ,if you get labelled a hooligan for riding one may as well stand out , Neon pink or atomic orange !
I can't help with what it will look like on an orange but I had a nomad which was black with black stickers and I have a cannondale badboy which has the same but these reflect when lit at night. I think it looks great. The nomad had purple bits but the cannondale is completely stealth black
I can post pics of you are interested.
double post error
Any pics appreciated , I've had bikes of all colours just fancied something understated and let the riding do the talking without the enduro look .
I can't post them from home but will do it first thing in the morning when I get to work.
There's one on the orange facebook page. Also the 324 at the core bike show had this. Pictures are around with a bit of google. The 324 looks amazing..
All on Facebook. 4th jan for the full effect (or lack of effect)
As Promised.
Cant really see the stickers very well but that's kind of the point.
The grass wasn't mine on the cannondale before it gets mentioned!

I've got an Orange in white with all black finishing kit, including spokes, forks and fork stanchions. It looked good at first, until the orange mud of South Wales got to it.
I like it. I did order a crush in black/black but didn't get it in the end. Went for another black/black bike though I need to change the forks as they're white at the moment..
I love the Nomad above. I have the cyan/magenta one and it's loud for sure. Coming round to it but I had to get a stealth bike to even it out somewhat.
To my mind black is just one end of a greyscale and I wont have a grey bike, but I'd have to admit that Nomad looks pretty classy. Maybe some custom fork decals to really finish it off, but nice work.
The black is a gloss black, as are the decals. I imagine you just won't see them - why not ask them to not put any decals on at all if you're going stealth? Or remove them, they're over the paint/lacquer IIRC so a heat gun will soon have them off.
At the time I was waiting for new forks so those were just borrowed from my chameleon.
I don't have that frame any more as it was swapped under warranty. They had no stock of the older black on black so I had to have the newer one which I really like but I preferred the old one.
Worked out well timing wise as when I got the new frame I also got the new forks and changed to the new 1x11 XTR so it felt like a new bike again.

Liking the black black the Nomad looks sweet, my thinking is most who by Orange go loud in colour and are loud numb nuts types adorned with matching Troy Lee kit !! Not for me but the Segment seems to tick all the boxes.
