Im getting a new frame that's black with black decals. Il probably put a black pike on it. What I'm not sure is ton wether to continue with the full black murdered out look or go for a strong accent colour for bars, pedals, hubs etc. it's a new build with all existing parts refurbishing the hardtail so it's a blank palate for this one,

Inspire me

This looked good, while I was still waiting for mine and therefore second-guessing my colour choice:

From way before murdered out was in vogue and people worried about aligning valves and tyre logos;

Cotic call it Gritstone, but it's as near as damnit black. Went with a cheesy 80s black and red theme.

Not the blackest bike on here by any stretch, but it might have been a few years ago - age has to count for something right? 😉

Some decidedly not black/black bikes on this thread.

So I may as well throw mine into the mix. I have considered putting black decals on in place of the white bits but it's currently covered in filth anyway 🙂

black bikes are perfect for riding in the dark especially paired with all black clothing no lights or helmet down a dark country lane....
