show me your bikes with a black fork

[Dude]

I'm looking for some inspiration. I have a steel frame I want to get repainted. I'm trying to keep it cheap so the fewer colors and/or masks applied the better.

The fork for the frame is black, I'm not painting that so the painted frame has to look good with a black fork.

There are no decals/ht badge or anything. Thoughts on what the paint scheme should look like?

Thread needs a new title: Show me your bikes with black fork. Here's my Concours. I'd rather have the fork color match the frame, but I've been able to live with black.

My 1987 Raleigh, 531C throughout. Black fork with black rear triangle seems to work. [emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180529/f8dd005e18d1c0cf33dff1090dcda7f0.jpg

Is the contrast hard to see in the intense sunlight?

I think a black fork with a painted/powdered frame adds a nice bit of utilitarianism to the mix.

You could try a white frame with a splatter fade to black beginning right before the headtube. If painted to match the fork that could be special.

As long as you've got mostly black parts for the build I think you can't go wrong...

Yellow Holland Logo...still count?I can see why you're particular about how an ugly seatpost can ruin a bike's aesthetics.

Sounds like a great project. Why not take that money you saved and have some fun with vinyl decals:

Mistake I made when I bought my Yo was not getting the rigid fork at the time.
