Green anodised components-availabilty

[theredchili]

What do you guys think the availability of green anodised components are ?
in particular, bars,stem,seatpost ,bakes and headsets ?

Just toying with a few ideas,but dont want to start investing too much if some stuff just isn't available

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

It's about if you look hard enough, but from what I can tell (thru reading on here, and personal exp.) there's a lot more variations in shades, and hard to get a good compliment of matching colours..

Agreed, has taken me ages to get all the right green for a build I'm working on. Greek king headset was a challenge, but bolts etc are fine. Bars and seat post you will find more difficult.

You might be better of collecting together the parts you need in "normal" aluminium colour and getting them all anodised together in a batch to ensure the same colour.

There's green stuff out there. You just have to find it. Picked these up last night from the LBS. Plan was to put them on my Sovereign, but I found some Syncros skewers as well, so I may put the Syncros on the Dekerf and move the Salsas from that to the Brodie.

Paul did green. You could get their brakes/levers/derailleurs in green/rasta. King does green hubs and headsets. Control Tech did skewers and bar ends. Oury grips.Ringle may have done green stems and I'm sure Salsa did skewers/seat clamps. Velocity did green rims.

Chose green for my modern bike (it complements my first bike actually being green)

The difference in shades of green is definitely the biggest issue... Techno Lime Green, Olive Green.

I had some custom green stuff done a while ago...slippery slope The color will vary depending on the grade of aluminum even if everything is done in the same batch.
