1996 Marin Ultimate Titanium

[Matttymm]

I’m debating whether to go red pedals or silver or oil slick.

Silver for me if you're actually intending to ride it in anger off-road. Anything else gets scratched up pretty fast on rocks!

Though I do kind of like the look of a properly battered set of black pedals...

 

[Matttymm]

Yeah. I thought silver to tie the stem rims and forks together.

 

[Matttymm]

DMR Vaults I think

 

[Matttymm]

Having a pedal crisis.

Thoughts please ?

Standard Silver - Classic
Chrome - Proper Shiny
Oil Slick - stand out.

That's a toughie. I like the chrome a lot, but do you reckon it'll tie in nicely with the finish on other parts?

The oil slick isn't to my tastes but will certainly make it look a properly updated / "modern" build if that's what you're going for.

The silver you just can't go wrong with IMO, but maybe a bike like this deserves something a little more special.

Black V8's.

Does it have to be flats?
Nice pair of M747 SPDs would seem fitting

 

[Matttymm]

Ha. They do mate. I don’t use SPDs

The only retro flats that I’m aware of are 735s XT or DMRs

I love that saddle...
