Most popular colours?
« on: March 14, 2009, 08:26 AM »
What are the most popular and sought after colours for BMX parts?  I imagine black, but also blue, red etc.  Gold doesnt interest me, but I always see good prices for nice gold bits.

Suppose its what you building in some cases, but not always.  I like blue and red particularly, but wondered how they sat in the grand scheme?

Lets talk about DC MX hinged clamps and MX1000 calipers as a good reference point for prices and availability.

Is black the most sought after (hence valuable)?

i would have thought that black is the least desirable, therefore cheapest...

You reckon  :shocked:  I think a black kashi aero would out-sell a colured one any day of the week  :-X

Thats what I thought.   Black is an popular colour that goes with lots of builds, be it kashi aero's, mx1000's or dc mx clamps.

tyres and seat yes, black is probably more desirable, but anodised componants that you was taking about in your first post i would say gold/red/ amd blue would be more desiable than black....
