Cool! It’s a sweet bike, that surely will shred nicely. I only heard good things about Vitus. I think the slight disconnect here is that most, who were interested in this topic, expected something more detailed. To me it looks like your color scheme is white with metallic orange details. So you could just add more orange pieces and accents. Maybe even a wheel-set once or a fox fork or something… … a bike is always work in progress. 😁 I wish you a great ride! ---

Honestly with the white primary color the orange and green feels off. I feel like orange or green would have looked a bit better especially with how each orange and green are different from each other. It’s a cool bike and I like it but the color scheme isn’t the highlight it almost distracts from how nice the bike actually is. ---

I like it! The accents are subtle, but it looks good to me. Vaguely reminds me of something, but I can’t put my finger on it :thinking: ---

As an old time mountain bike rider and racer (yes, I still have my Wicked Fat Chance), I have no idea why anyone would care about the colors of their bike or components. What are you going to do, buy matching jerseys to pair with it? That would clearly identify you as a serious rider. I buy the best components I can for the required use. Color? Who cares? ---

Just curious - why are you even commenting on a thread titled “New bike, recommend color scheme?” It’s fine to not think color matters, but clearly the author does care. I don’t see how that input helps him at all. ---

I was hoping to get a luminous green DVO fork after the original comments on this thread, (and commit to many green parts) but shipping over the ocean from the USA just didnt make sense financially the build took a lot more of my time than thought too, so many tools you dont realise you might need ---

availability of parts was also a bit of a challenge that affected the choices an orange fox 36 wpuld have been ideal but they didn’t sell in the travel i needed and i wasnt going to start buying suspension service kits to adjust it myself ---

anyway, thanks to all who replied back in March, it helped me get some enthusiasm even though i ultimately went much more reserved who knows the spray cans might come out in a year or 2 once I have some scratches to cover up and some spare time ---

Hey I get it. Sadly things are expensive and hard to get ahold of. The bike looks awesome and eventually getting more cohesive color scheme is low priority over functionality in the end. ---

My brother in law is a tech at a bike shop and is very very into bikes and I’ll occasionally end up with a new bike if random parts and bits and bobs from repairs and throw away stuff. eventually I might paint what I have a solid gray with red accents ---

I agree thatwould look pretty nice! there’s definitely a few companies around who would paint a frame for you, I’ve also seen people get decent results with sandpaper and spraycans if you try it be sure to share the results [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-bike-recommend-color-scheme/420733.md?page=1)
