Yeah paint it like Brian's old DH8, except see if you can find a glossier green with more metal flake, and polish the swingarm (like his triton). That would look sick! :drool:

NO BO CO
I dunno about the silver and green. All green would be sweet, maybe with silver linkage plates, but a silver rear end just seems like it would look kind of goofy or give it that "pieced together" kind of look. If that floats your boat, then by all means do it, but my opinion is to avoid radically different colored front and rear ends.

My thoughts still stand.

i feel ya but i think all green would be too much...also i want the moto look w/ a polished swingarm....my buddies cortina ht is rattlecanned contstruction orange and it looks good...that might be an option as well

This is Natt. I think I met you in Truckee (you stopped in cyclepaths were I was working over the summer for a Dorado ceil). I was on the Cortina grassroots. Yeah I've seen Brians cromo triton, and it is pretty sick. I like the alum front triangle alot too though. which one are you getting.

yeah I'm on a V10 now (after the headtube can-openered on my DH8). Also Cyclepaths put me on their team, so I can get pretty good prices on everything when you combine the employee discount with the team member discount. That bike should be sick. I still think the Triton is a really sick bike. I'm really pleased with the way it came out. Should be fun.
