Got a black Eastern 06 frame coming, with orange forks & (slightly more red) orange bars, black stem. Got a mint chrome 3 piece to go on it ^"^.

Other parts will be a combo of  Winstanley's clearance & maybe some swap overs from my Hellcat (mainly black parts) cos I'm skint. Will be running 2 brakes for the near future while I'm re-learning to ride.

So I'm looking for colour combo ideas to go with black & orange. Want to keep it quite clean & simple.

I've got something in mind but be nice to hear some suggestions.

This will be my first 'decent' bike, so I want it to look nice. :smitten:

My Hellcat's ok but it's a bit of a tank, and just too long for me to throw around, so not that decent for me.

Cheers

When you say chrome 3 piece, I guess that you mean bars (I'm new to this BMX terminology)?

That being the case then perhaps a little more chrome, maybe chainring, back wheel and seat post clamp if you can get something at the right price. Then a black front wheel seat/post, cranks and maybe orange pedals.

How does that sound?

3 piece = 3 piece crankset. :)

The bars are deep red-ish orange. The wheels that are going on for now are black hubs, black rims with silver brake walls, got a black seat post or a chrome one to choose from.

It's only really chainwheel / brakes / cables / pedals / seat I need to think about.

I've been thinking about purple / blue or turquoise to brighten it up a bit. I've seen a nice orange seat, but unsure whether I want any more orange.

It would be useful if I read things properly.

How about, orange pedals, black chain ring, nickel plated chain, chromed/silver or orange seat clamp and everything else black?

Personally I would not introduce another colour but thats just my opinion.

No more colour, not much goes with orange, have you seen the tweenies??

Black cables (cheap at wilko's) silver/chrome bits

Easy peasy.

Glad you like the cranks, they are nice, I just have nothing planned for them.

I love the cranks.  ;)

People I know have said stick to black & orange, TBH I don't like orange that much, if I had the spare cash I'd prolly get it repainted.

I just don't want it to look like a new school emo / grunge bike...

I'm still undecided on colours. Will mainly be a black / chrome swap over parts job to start with, & see how it feels.
