Current Projects chat and miscellany

Purple isn't working for me. White Talbot sticker, black headset (king sotto voce?)

maybe a bit boring. Can they do contrast panels / stripes on the frame?

i wanted to try introduce a bit of colour hence the coloured headset as the bike is pretty much entirely black components, hmm.

i suck at design and dont want to use the generic talbot ones, they dont suit my idea. so...

Keep it plain, play with component colours or buy roboto beer

ive pm'd roboto already, paging hhsdad, fix it pls

The purple Talbot isn't working .. Needs to be white like the other logos

(disclaimer I'm not a designer)

note taken, white talbot and maybe some more colour.

in white with and without outline, and maybe the full name looks better?

why not go purple seatcollar and hubs and spoke nipples?

cos, no.

Are all the components black - including chainrings, rims, etc? I reckon all-black logos / decals, and black headset. Even with the fork logo in white.

hubs are silver, rims are black, chainrings are grey

fade to black, black decals

do it the other way round and it'll fade into the forks

Not feeling the fade myself.

i quiet like the white outline i think

do it the other way round and it'll fade into the forks

just tried this but it looks a bit guff.

less sure on the colour with the components on, grey and black follow.

and fade..

I think the problem is that particular colour blue.
Dark grey with purple headset and gumwalls looks good. What about grey with purple stickers and headset?

I like the fades and this one http://f.cl.ly/items/3M2o3Z1y2h0N2j3q0e1C/Screen%20Shot%202013-08-08%20at%2017.30.05.png

Looks like Prolly's Geek.

^^

rogan, if you want to keep it balanced with dark frame you should look at bright bits to lighten it up.

I like that. What does it look like with purple contact points :-)?

White.

^^ never!

^^^ like what though? cant change out any of the groupset stuff really, brightened up by going gumwalls

like what though

purple contact points

PS do not do this

Got new (old) wheels, got rid of the red hoods, and made myself a headbadge. I've pretty much finished my racing bike

I really need a Specialized Romin Evo, but the one I have is white. Don't know if it would look alright with white saddle and tape. Will compare tomorrow.
