Red = too common
White = too common and easy (and already white ??)
Brown= Too hard to get the colours matching and will look like pooey chalky dog crap
Purple = too 90s and garish

So the answer is GREEN. Plus as mentioned above, it will match the frame, and grips are done already. As with brown will be hard to get exact colours but if you're patient and do it bit by bit will be more rewarding!

I've tried the Gold route and tbh it looked pants imo. If it was a plain white frame then I would defo try Purple.

Hello
Don't worry you can still say what you like about Chris and vice versa, I'm only on here whilst I decide on a colour for my bike, We thought you guys could help!
 I'm not into biking quite like you lot  Tongue far as I'm concerned its a thing with 2 wheels that almost kills me when i'm on it though that could be my husband taking me out on stupid rides!

Thank you Damo! Ha 1-0 to me Chris  Grin
I don't want a plain boring bike the garish the better!

I just got in (to my shop) some really sweet stuff from Spank. The blue looks really nice, but I like the purple even better. Yes it's '90's, but back then I couldn't afford any purple, and now it looks retro cool for the oldies, and just plain purty for people that like colourful stuff.

I actually have that bike in stock now so am just trying some purple on it now, it looks very tasty!

Looks like I've lost this one, cheers Damo and Rufus.   Roll Eyes Now I'm gonna have to be seen out with a 90's throwback bike. The shame!  Grin

I bet Lorren rides better than you anyway, and I bet her bike gets dirty, unlike your always spotless orange number

Anytime Chris!! Anyway, my Santa Cruz needs repainting now. If I had the money, I would definately go purple and white. Just imagine it. It'd be well smart. Can't afford it though, so will have to go red, white and blue instead.

You're welcome!
Haha, consider yourself lucky your woman rides with you at all!! Do whatever it takes to keep that happening!

I start at the other end though, just got these bars in http://spank-ind.com/index.php?a=info&do=pro&id=59&tid=12 in blue and purple, and now have to build a bike to go with them... Cheesy haha.
