Is Blue........(the new) Bling

Okay, so it doesn't have the pimpness of gold. But it sure looks damn pretty.

peace

BTW, the Salsa skewers are for my other set of wheels and they match the CK perfectly

Blue is cool.

I think it works great. How did your Hope QR seat post clamp go on? I hear they are extremely snug. That's a 31.8 right?

I am placing my order for one now. Thanks.

Mine went on just fine, it ain't a loose fit tho

I'm fairly fond of blue accents too.

Yes it is and no probs with the fit of either the seatpost clamp or the skewers.

cheers

Sorry - double post

Dude - You're killing me

PoKev - In an effort to build a somewhat unique 5 spot I have been patiently waiting for over 2 mo's on my frame. And now you have gone and beat me to the punch. Same frame color with blue bling.

I look forward to eventually posting some pics.

At least you have good taste

Sweet! Blue is definitely Bling!
Hey Pokev, what kind of cable protectors are those? I could really use a few.

Look like Jagwire Tubetops

SSINGA has a pair of blue balls you could use as well.....but I guess if you are married, you already have a pair

Mine are orange - thank you!

I suspect BZ's look like this

And for those that think Blue is Bling:

FoShizzle,

Dude, I gotta see a full layout and description of that Phil Wood bike.

Thankyou very much, but I'll have you know mine are the perfect shade of... what the hell am I even replying to this for?

That Jagwire stuff looks like just the thing I need. Anyone know if the spit interlock kind stay put? Will they work on all kinds of housings (narrow XTR SIS) or only JW stuff?

Zilla, I have the Tube top 3G (the split types). Yes they do stay in place. Only really move around during cleaning. One of the best protective purchases I've made.

Thanks Cal, had it painted by Olympic Powdercating (folks that paint the Turners) back during the winter. Originally started as silver. I too wanted white when I purchased the 5 Spot last year, however, it wasn't offered. When I learned about Olympic it was simply a matter of time before the repaint was done. Quick turnaroung there also.

peace

Found the old thread that shows stages of the rebuild after the repainting. http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=56776

Also here are a couple of recent pics.

NICE, Kev. Nice ride shots too. Hmmm, my Burner is already blue and I have a CK orange headset so finding orange bling is not so easy---in fact it's not gonna happen with Hope or Salsa. Maybe I'll alternate to another color that works with both blue/orange, like green? My old XTR skewers and the stock seatpost clamp are making my UGI tingle.
