Gear color match bike color?

#1 Unread post by Shiv »

I was looking at gear and was thinking of getting red gear since blue would blend in with the sky too much and isn't as visible as red.

But I wanted a blue bike (mind you color isn't all that huge of an influence on my purchase at this point, but given the choice I'd go with blue), so I wonder how red on blue would look?

Does ya'lls gear match ya'lls bike's color?


Wonder if red and blue would go well together. I should just ask a lady..

Lol I was thinking about putting a "Yes, I know your colors match, Vermillion" in my post but decided not to.

How goes the scarf search?

no luck yet. it can't be just any other scarf. plus im still trying to find a way to tatter it w/o looking like it was forced tattered.

:laughing:

BTW, the woman who helped train me a few weeks ago had the same bike as mine but she had blue gear. i assume it was bec of her previous bike.

blue and red are ok. but i still vote for color matching.

Black Jacket, yellow, black, grey, white helmet

Mostly yellow and black bike.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

It's not perfect as I didn't bother getting all the little slivers nor correcting certain parts (like the R) but here it be:
