Anybody got a pic of a bike or just a close up of a white rim fitted on a pair of white forks?

I'm just not sure on the asthetics of it

Thanks

Ken

You have to be a bit of a riding god to pull it off IMO. I like that above though.

You turned a classic into a gopping-next-year fashion disaster. IMO.

EDIT I'm personally involved as I am on my second Heckler. I feel violated.

well, blowing my own trumpet, you'll know what year frame it is and I ordered it in that colour, and its always had the white forks on it (Marz Z1 lights before), the rims have been on there a year now. I like to think I was ahead of the game 😛

tis good init 🙄 in my defence I didn't get the crud catcher with it, so it's not actually there, I nabbed the photo from a shop...

also the seat isn't too white either now, didn't really think it was a great colour for a seat

OP, your initial concerns are well founded.

Red Hopes turn pink after a few years btw.

My next door neighbour just bought one of these Hardrocks in the black and white. It looks very smart, especially for the money.

May I point you all to "the rules" regarding colour coding-

1- there are no colours other than black and silver.

2- colour coding is for curtains and sofas, not bikes.

HTH.

It's because we're so pure and innocent. Not everyone can carry it off.

That Heckler looks siiiiick (the good sick, not the vomit kind)

I love this look so much I am having my Pitch powdercoated white; I put the mech through the rear wheel recently so I'm having them rebuilt on white too 🙂

other bikes of mine containing white...

I've got white rims on a white fork, but they don't match my black frame very well (I do have another frame on the way, otherwise I would not have gotten the fork). So I say this really depends on the frame...
