I was planning on taking my frame in to armourtex today, and Im not sold on a colour yet. Im a 3D designer, so I decided to model up a bike and try out a few colours before I took my frame in.
If the geometry or some of the sizing is a bit wrong, its because I just eyeballed most of it off a few reference images, and its not measured and 100% accurate.
Im leaning in the way of the off white i think.

Yeah, I suppose its like wearing white socks with smart shoes. I already have the white v's though so they have to stay.

I just did a black frame.

go for black or charcoal or something to go with the white rims. i personally prefer the off-white but it just wouldn't work with those white wheels.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
