TBH I don't like the scheme- but myself, I'd rather have something a bit different that not everyone would like, but that I loved- so well done! Personalyl I'd have given it black wheels and white rim tape maybe?

The original idea was to have blue wheels with white rims. In fact I did already have them, but after a bit of a mishap with the spraying, I needed to do it all again.

Basically I couldn't be bothered with all the hassle that it would have taken. Wheels off, disks off, masking, spraying, refitting disks, refitting wheels. Then to have to do the whole process again to do the lacquering. So I just left them with blue. I will probably do the white rims again using white spray out of a can from Halfords.

The fact that I did not have spare wheels made it a complete pain to do as I had to refit and ride between stages, otherwise it would have been far easier.

PS, white out the lettering on the tyres, you know you want to.

I saw a black and white Hornet today that had white paint in the tyre tread

Looked brilliant, but...

Wow - I think it looks great - can't wait to see it in the flesh / metal / rubber.

Loving the fact your bike plays hopscotch too.
