My Talbot

thats the colour i think it'll end up being.

and matt sent me this potato chop of his idea for new decals

Will just leave this here

nah.
looks shit...

Will Livestrong be OK with talbot using their font?

finally found a purple CK headset, so thats bought.

this bikes gone totally nahbs wanker and I don't even care.

have we got bikecad mock up?

also i like that font for the decals but like dron said, it is a bit much....

not got a finalised mock up no, but its gna be fairly small, 52 square (if it was square)

going to have a 5 or so degree top tube

so the tube's gonna be way too short for that logotype anyway. :)

Wait until you see mine- "THE TIME MACHINE" on the downtube.

probably dron!

TALBOT maybe more suitable

Not NAHBS enough. I appreciate why you want it black, but that purple headset is begging for moar colours around it.

Purple ck hubs or gtfo...

Just kidding, but purple "Talbot" would be the perfect blend of classy but with a bit of colour.

^^ there'll be the headtube and seattube stickers for talbot, and the 853 decal too.. hmmm

Match the headset colour to the seatclamp.

Match the hubs too, if you must, as long as everything else is black.

And tell the people who wrote the program you're using (bikeCAD?) that their standard handlebar shapes look awful.

Dare I say it, but matte black... Could be a bit meh.

What about black with rainbow sparkles? Would compliment the purple headset/hubs/collar...

black with rainbow sparkles

bikecad bars suck (unless you know what your doing.. which i dont..)

will consider the seatclamp but dont really wanna go too silly

yeah ive been thinking hard, and this bikes not aiming for 'omg wow that things incredible' its just supposed to be a nice, durable bike thats going to last so im still deciding... rainbow sparkles seems a bit njs

Black with rainbow sparkles would be deliciously sublte and complimentary.

Matte black is kinda boring.

Matte black is kinda boring.

glossy black with sparkles is so njs/dosnoventa-boring

Fluro yellow with black inner stays would've been so stanridge boring....

The colour of doms esb is kinda what i wanted though, with a few colourful decals, the headset and combo of parts i think it'll look nice

Maybe not super exciting, but i wouldnt call it totally boring

Managed to get some grifo's with 50 miles on them dirt cheap

and my SRAM red yaw front mech arrived
