I'm looking for a crimson catwalk of pimped out rides. Never owned a red bike before and thinking of ordering my new one in red. Please inspire me!!! (or bikes with red accessories would be cool too)

Thanks! The White Fox looks sweet, wish the new ones were still in this colour scheme. Looks like a nice set up.

I started off with this

and it has now morfed into this (powder coated 456 in candy red, it was originally that blue).

rear disc rotor is probably the only original part.

People with red bikes have no imagination, apparently.

After this it then got a black seat clamp and black grips and now has white forks and white bars which looks the best.

EDIT - found one with the black bits...

This is many years ago (about 2005 I think) I had this. Real nice bike, just wasn't suited to my riding at all...

[img] [/img]

Also had a 1997 Specialized M2 Team Edition JMC rep (in red of course, with the Carbon legged Rockshox Judy's) for a number of years, sadly sold it before I ever got a digital camera though!

This evening I shall mostly be drinking beer, making curry and building my latest ebay acquisition 😛

[img] ?t=1305300858[/img]

Oh, and if anyone's interested, I can confirm that Tamiya 'clear red' model paint is a perfect match for SC trans red. I've spent the day retouching numerous scuffs and decal damage and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Curiously, this one's not been ridden for nearly 12 months, so there's a pretty high probability that it'll be scrapped soon ... 😕

Shame about the clashing orange bits on the Joplin.
