I am all ready to send in my first Yo for a repaint (in team violet) and am not sure about my decal color selection.
All team violet Yos I've seen had the black/yellow decals, so that appears to be the way they came. But to me the yellow isn't quite right on the violet. I was thinking that silver/black might be better? Now for my white Yo I was thinking either the black/pink or silver/black, or buy two sets and make them black/black. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

My team violet came with black and yellow. I think black and pink would look good. I almost went that way. I am not sure silver will not stand out. Just my opinion.

I've imagined redoing mine in violet with the black/pink. I think it'd look great.
On white I'd go black/yellow. Where are you going to get them refinished?

My '92 Team Violet came with black/pink. Don't know is this was rare, but i haven't seen many Team Violets with these decals.
Sorry for the quality of the pic, but it's a scan of a picture taken in '94 ![]()

I like the pink/violet decals but those are not available from Rody so I have to go with what he can provide. So, I guess black/yellow it is.
I don't think I can do black/yellow on the white... we'll see. I'm getting them painted by Russ Pickett. |

it's really a personal thing
I would go, black and silver on both, that way you don't paint your way into a color scheme but I don't think you can make a wrong choice pink, black or yellow for the violet... On the white it's neutral, your choice is wide open, provided the type face shows, black, pink, yellow. Last edited by tvcreative; September 4th, 2011 at 11:36 AM. |

Well, I think I'm going to stay with black/yellow on the M in Team Violet.
On another note, I will keep my Salsa moto roller stem for the L and use a plain Jane Salsa stem on the M with a headset mounted cable hanger. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions! |
