Hi.

I am going to get a frame painted and am trying to coordinate the frame color with the component colors, which, as much as possible will be gold.

Any thoughts on what colors, shades, etc. go naturally with gold? Any of you with gold components have pics of your bikes?

Thanks

I personally found silver to be a good match.....

I'm currently building an all-black Leviathan with mostly gold hardware (so far a gold CK headset, gold I-9 hubs and spokes with black arch rims, gold kmc chain). It looks amazing so far and I will try to post pics when I finish it tomorrow.

Dark Red / Maroon. No pics but it is a great combo...

Mine is brown w/gold and I've read where others have used brown and/or rootbeer.

Heres a pic.

Gold headset, bb, hubs. Will be doing a gold seatpost clamp as soon as I can order one.

Silentfoe,

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a bike on a couch before.

anything metalic in color. Pick a color of your choice & get that glossy finish that will match that shiny gold. Gold looks great with any color, just think about the lady w/ the gold on & what color she wears w/ it. The answer is any color. Pick your favorite color and get it in a very shiny finish.

Only the best for my bike, hence all the "jewelry". You should see me when I give it a bath.

Tasty - IIRC, Ventana had a green metallic flake paint that was killer with gold. Think lowrider in SoCal.

Green for the money and gold for the honey.

but seriously I would go with brown, dark midnight metallic blue, or deep maroon

Is it me or the DW rear is not couch picture friendly?

Not a lot of Gold on 'er but just enough to give you an idea.

Gold - Green/camo frame and irresistible brown hubs. :thumbsup:
