2003/4 Giant TCR build - Design ideas needed !!

Please just get away from the carbon weave. That is for people that still think they have to impress others to show them thy ride a carbon bike.

do a google search for "trek astana" quite a nice paint job & colours.

 

edit: here's what i had in mind but i think stick to white bar tape. in fact, black will be better!

But I like the carbon weave thing !!!

 

Actually, quite like the T-mobile design without the T-Mobile decals though (maybe put Telkom decals instead ..... NOT !!!!!), and maybe haveing a black tint in the clearcoat where it is black - so it will look black but the CF weave will only be visible close up and in bright sunlight.

 

What do you think ?

[AndreZA]

just make it white with the carbon showing through the name with a thin red outline.

 

 

[paulvs]

yeah.. I concur with that statement.... carbon = "NICE" 

[racman]

The problem is M, I don't like white by the chainstays - gets dirty too quickly and unlike a MTB, creates too much pressure on me to keep it  nice and clean !!!!

[4ph3X]

no! make it like the astana trek

[racman]

but with what colors - I don't like turquoise, it clashes with my eyes

[AndreZA]

Do something like this. Where the black is leave carbon and where the gold is another colour like red or blue.

cool, what about this but with TCR where T-mobile is and red pinstripes instead of the pink. The decals are carbon "see through"

Why not something along the lines of next years model
