The Ultimate Guide to Bicycle Looks: From Vintage to Colorful
In a time when gravel bikes and road bikes rule the streets, a well-designed bike brings a fresh touch. The key to this look? Follow a few simple rules: Create a color concept, match components like handlebar tape and saddle, and complement the frame that not only gets you reliably from A to B but also in style.
The Classic Look: Vintage Charm Meets Modern
The typical classic look is reminiscent of 1960s vintage cars, with one or two main colors accentuated by chrome and leather. In this scheme, handlebar tape in black or brown and leather saddles find their place. The warm color of the leather adds an extra retro touch to the bike. However, nowadays, no animals need to suffer for this: Vegan leather is the future here - despite its retro charm.
The Colorful Look: A Feast for the Eyes
The road bike or gravel bike in a colorful look often plays with three or more colors. It's crucial not to introduce a new color through the handlebar tape or the saddle. Instead, these accessory parts should emphasize a color that is already dominant in the frame. The result? A feeling of wholesomeness and a soothing overall appearance.
The Rules of Color Combination
One principle always applies: color schemes should be consistent. Neon colors go well with neon, while warm tones harmonize best with other warm colors or neutral tones like black, white, or gray.
