Unlimited colour pallete.

When it comes to ordering your Forwards bike you’ll have the amazing task of choosing a colour. When choosing a colour we ask our customers to think of one they like and then search the web and look around them when they’re out and about. Vehicles, although not the best of friends to us cyclists, can be very helpful in this instance. Let’s look at our RD21 road bike. It’s absolutely stunning. The colour and depth is something to be seen to be believed but it wasn’t easy to find. I knew I wanted it to be red, red is after all my favourite colour, maybe that’s saying something about my personality but that’s another subject altogether. Anyway, red. I wanted a stunning red. I searched the web for reds, added a few brand names to the mix and it then evolved to candy red. It is a top tip to search for supercar brands and then add the colour. Say, Ferrari red for example or Ferrari metallic red. You’ll obviously be looking through the images and from here it’ll snowball but eventually narrow down. Then I went out and looked at the colours in the real world in different lights. Although you may look a little funny looking around car parks and forecourts it’s a great exercise in getting it right. We are also here to help and have done so with many customers and suggested ideas. We also have thousands of sample cards at our paint facility and past build sample cards at the studio to see. At the end of the day, it’s your own custom bike so it’s worth a little time getting it right. Next up we’ll talk graphics…
