Does anyone on here pimp their bike. Im talkin lairy colour schemes.
For example. I have a red rockhopper and im thinking about getting some purple pedals, grips, bottlecage etc to make it a bit retro looking.
Has anyone else got any good ideas or pimped bikes they'd like to share?

Chopped Brooks, purple front tyre/pink rear tyre (the excellent Halo twin rail), blue tape on some funky bars, new All City forks, stickers and a few soupspoons worth of loveliness sprinkled all over it.
Do it! Here's a couple of my (no longer owned) red/purple themed builds . . .

Looks nice! Ive just been looking at purple Halos for my bike!
Ive thought about just putting a load of random colours on mine. The red/purple idea is sticking in my head though. What do you think?
Mamadirt. That first one is mint! Im not sure if mine would look as good as its not a metallic red.
The Intense cruiser was just flat red not metallic - go for it! I'd forgotten how nice that bike looked until digging the pic out 😕 . The seatpost and brake lever were both bought very cheaply off ebay from one of the 'bankrupt stock' stores. Headset is a Superstar Uno.
Youve convince me to go for it.

Im thinking purple grips,pedals,bottle cage,seatpost and tyres. Ive just bought new disc brakes and they will all be white, so a white charge spoon saddle will have to be bought. OTT?
nice bikes everyone.could i ask your opinion(s),about what colours you might think would go well on my bike (the frame is definitely garish enough 😉 [IMG] 
[/IMG] i plan on pimping my bike (when funds allow).have already fitted some ritchey gloss black alu flat bar,stem and seatpost.
^ I love your bike raceface, but it needs a white saddle. And take the photo in a more aesthetically pleasing gear 😉
Liking the green racefaceec90. I think it looks sweet as is. If you wanted to go a bit more in your face how about picking up the red a little bit. Maybe red grips and Panaracer Fire tyres with the red walls?
And i agrre. A white Charge Spoon. And the logo on it is red!
Spied this on Bike Radar, now that's a full pimp down that needs fluffy dice!!

cables and grips 8)
That 456 SS is very nice Stevo - seems to be missing a gold seatclamp though and that seat has to go.
Scroll down and see the full gangster effect....nice!!That 456 SS is very nice Stevo - seems to be missing a gold seatclamp though and that seat has to go.
That bike is mint! Id get a lepoard print saddle for that bad boy!

Oooooh yeah - that is very very nice. I feel decidedly amateur now 😕 . Just downed a bottle of Brakspear Triple - best hide the visa card 😆
does gold rims, seat clamp, bar (can't see due to angle), grip rings, crank bolt (non-drive side) and little gold chainring bolts on a purple frame count?
