"They look like normal bikes with 26" wheels!"

You could get it painted over.

Or repeatedly hit it with a hammer

Euph?

Filth. NSFW.

You need a special hammer for crabon.

Maybe the safest bet for someone my size would be a fork made of hammers?

Reverse the fade in my opinion.
Always dark at the back.

Always dark at the back

Usually I'd agree with that. On this bike though, I think the MASSIVE headtube benefits from the 'slimming' effect of black :-)

Massive headtubes should embraced with open arms.

That one's definitely a euph.

Your diagram has vertical dropouts, sliding ones are better and needn't cause disc brake probs. Have we already discussed this? And not front to rear fade, that looks cut n shut, top to bottom fade is much nicer

Have we already discussed this?

Yup :-)

Paragon rockers

@Alkali - Seeing as it's you.

That's much nicer. And sorry about the dropouts thing, I can barely remember what day it is, let alone what dropouts some dude fancies. Light to dark, top to bottom looks freshhhh.

dark at the bottom clearly (or it'll look dirty all the time)

I can't link on phone easily, but google hotrod paintwork. The fades on them are subtle (One colour but a change of tone) and tend to be light top, dark bottom as this gives the effect of bright light falling on the vehicle like on a sunny day.

Cheers, although I'm mostly seeing flames.

Flames everywhere!

I'm set on the black & white paintjob, most likely with the red decals. The fade is a tricky one though, as without the right software, it's difficult to translate the BikeCad image into a 3D object.

Last two for today.

Bottom one.

white
to
black

and no red writing.

(black to white makes it look heavier somehow)

Third option up.
Reminds a little of what Reeeeeeeeen has done on his frame, the black mimicking the dirty grease on the chain stays and bottom bracket...

Last two for today

Or not...

I've tried this one with a fade in the lettering.

That's nicest, the ^ letter fade is smart and understated

I like the black and white one.

Would a sus fork clear the downtube OK?

I may have asked already. I'm on my second stout.
