Very nice!

I wasn't sure how the white guards would look, but i like them

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I used black guards - they look good too You've cheated and put skinny Gators on though!

I do like the colour Gaz. And the white guards go very well. But for some reason, I think the bottle cages don't. Think you need a more classic design instead of the Spesh ones.

I agree. I might move those cages onto the other bike if i find a decent style.

The stem and mudguards should be black in my opinion, but it still looks awesome. Makes me wish I'd waited a bit and got this instead of a white On One Pompetamine; orange is my favourite colour, after all.

Gaz, how did you fix the rear guard to the seat stays?

Hahaha.. i didn't do it

The bike shop did it for me when they replaced the tyres etc..
I do know the mechanic had some trouble doing it.
Do you want to see some more pics of how it looks?

They offered to do it for me, i was expecting to be at home doing it my self but i'm not one to turn something down for free

I don't have such an issue with the design, but the red on black colour jars badly on an orange bike, IMO

You'd be crazy not to accept - it's a bastard job fitting guards to this!
