Author Topic: What colour streetbeat? (Read 2407 times)

Gents,

Thinking about getting a set of Streetbeat F&F but what colour???

There seem to be alot of green ones floating about and my Haro is green so I'd rather go for something different. What colour do you suggest/recommend or should I get one raw and spray it something a little different???

Cheers in advance
Stace

I suggest you get a raw one and have it sprayed/powdered.

If you need some ideas, do a search in the freestyle section for streetbeat shoot-out. There you will find links to the VBMX competition, which has streetbeats of all colours.

the 2 colour style that skyway did looked really good

for some inspiration have a look on vintagebmx.com - find the streetbeat shootout thread

although i have a feeling that tasteless chrome wheeled thing won.
it wouldnt win in the UK!

It did win. I didn't vote for it once, but you know - they love a bit of bling don't they.

Personally I voted for this one

now that looks really nice.
although the position of the levers suggests it was built by someone who has never ridden a bmx.

that is the 2 tone style i am thinking of stace. copy that one! (but omit the green stripe - white would be better)

SWEET!

What year did the two-tone come in, I don't remember them??

Anyone got a list (or know where I can get one) of the colours / schemes that Skyway did??

Thanks
Stacy

i think the 2 tones were the second generation bikes, in 1986

as for colours, just choose 2 that go well together and it will look hot!

I just been on vintagebmx...gone through 28 pages of the 'STREET BEAT SHOOTOUT- 31 contestants' thread and didn't see the bikes!!!

Anyone got the right link??

give me an hour to wait for vbmx forum pages to load and i will find you the linkage

theRuler · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2006, 03:42 PM »

there are some here http://www.vintagebmx.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=008419

there should be a bunch of threads in the old school freestyle section somewhere. but that forum is too slow to use.

Looking at those on VBMX......Not stock colours, so does anything go???

What about some of the candy's, flakes and two tones you can get?? Too cheesy

?

sure I photoshoped one of Dave's in different colours once, I'll see if I've still got them somewhere, if I remember electric blue looked good.

Stace · « **Reply #19 on:** May 17, 2006, 03:25 PM »

That would be good thanks!

Moose · « **Reply #20 on:** May 17, 2006, 03:44 PM »

I have an almost complete set of '85 decals in purple/white for the green or orange frames. The set is complete except for the seat tube decal, as it's for a streetstyler. PM me if you're interested

Peanut · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2006, 04:07 PM »

Da daaaa

any colour you want.

Stace · « **Reply #22 on:** May 24, 2006, 09:47 AM »

Guys,

Just ordered frame, still deciding on colours but have a couple of funky ideas.

Who can do decals? I'm guessing the standard ones out there prob won't match!!..........pm if you rather!!
