Purple Bikes Thread
Anyone have a purple bike? Love to see some pics people...

I have an incoming dark purple tinted carbon frame. Looking for ideas.
Thinking Silver headset, spacers, stem and seatpost
White saddle and bar tape (Handlebra of course)
White cables

Not sure how I'm gonna go with wheels - probably use what I have -
DA WH-7850-CL: 27mm tubeless clinchers though I think the red nipples are gonna clash (hmm, maybe be red cables?)

Purple with white looks nice, it's what I rode this summer. If you have white tape and saddle, white cable might be overboard. A little white goes a long way. I built this one up with black components and cables and liked it. Silver would also be nice, but I'd still use black cables. What color is the decal work going to be? The wheels could make or break it.
