    I replaced the forks on my MTB as below. Blue and orange is good, but I think I need another orange element to set off the forks. Suggestions? One gentleman recommended a white saddle, but that sounds like lunacy to me.

    I think a white saddle would be the way to go.

    Saddle bags are like dicky bows. Sometimes ya gotta put one on, but really, you'd rather not.

    It's best to turn a bug into a feature.

    Or, get a cheap alloy seatpost and get it custom anodized in orange to match the forks.

    ooooh. That's a good idea alright. Parallel-ific

    Orange saddle seems tough to find

    You could also cover yourself in that orange fake tan that the birds all seem to love.

    Might roll with bottle cage and seatpost clamp and grips. Simple but gaudy, I like it.

    Are your forks on backwards?

    Correct me if I'm wrong it's just I've never seen them go that way before, normally the arch over the tyre is at the front.

    I have mounted them backwards before, but no, this time they are on the right way around. Manitou seem to like the arch on the back.

    saddle, stem and grips

    then again, why would anyone be giving aesthetic advice to a man who rides a single speed banana - the fashion pedigree is already there ;)
