R/W/B to Y/B Socially Acceptable?

#1 Post by Whymee » Wed Nov 21, 2018 1:34 pm

Is the practice of taking a R/W/Blue bike & turning it into a Y/Black bike acceptable?

I am asking for a friend... :smt003

Depends which R/W/B model you're talking about.

Black frame with Yellow bike = social acceptance

Red frame with Yellow bike = social ridicule.

Not sure which one you're going for :smt003

I should have fully explained what "my friend" is thinking about.

100 percent change over. Body color, frame color. Although (so he sez) not thought about the wheel color. Powder coated?

Back in the day with the LC crowd it was all about not being accepted, basically if a club would have you then you didnt want to belong. That was the UK tho, where we were all angry young men who only wanted to do what we wanted to, and werent playing by anyones rules except our own.

Today its a bit different I guess, mortgage has gotta be paid and many of us answer to she who must be obeyed lol
