I just bought my first decent mtb at 42 years old. I'm planning to hit some trails so going picking up some deity deftrap pedals and tbd grips. I realize this is extremely trivial but I'm this most indecisive person ever, should I add some colour or act my age and stick with black for the pedals and grips? Haha (See 3 pics, 2 are chatgpt)

Orange if you want color. But i prefer black
Act your age? I know guys in their 60s with the most blinged out bike rigs. Your question is subjective, personally Id probably go with the orange.
One green grip & pedal and one orange grip & pedal…. Vicey versey.
Just go out there, enjoy yourself and have fun
I like black
Orange
There’s something about orange and green
I’d rock the orange! Something about OD green and orange just hits right.
Purple
Black 100%
Orange if you it to pop out or black for if you don’t care but I don’t like the light green
Orange pedals, black grips. The orange grips will just get grubby and look a bit crappy in time.
Black is much much much better
Astros fan so nod to the orange.

Black, green is hideous, orange if you really want to.
Wdym act your age? If you like the pop of color then put it on there. Don’t mind what other people think.
Orange
Orange look so good
The orange is sick. Id go orange.
Of those options orange. I think it would look sweet with gum colored grips and pegs to match the sidewalls of your tires

Mud covers all colors.
Green on green

Personally I’d go tan/brown to match the tyres
Maybe tan?
Orange looks crisp

I have the same color bike & went with purple (it’s the fastest color) and since we’re worried about acting our age, I’m 56. 😂🤘🏼🔥
Color match the bottle cage, too.
Orange is dope
Never would have thought I would like the orange the best but I do.

Orange by a mile.
I have a lighter green and accent it with red. It reminds me of an A-10 Warthog.
I prefer the black, it keeps the focus on the gorgeous frame color.
I like the black the best. I’d only go for a different color if it would be the exact same green of the bike’s frame.
Black by far.
Orange, give it some pop
Black is sleek orange if you’re I to hunting.
Black looks classy the orange gives it a bit of flare. I don’t really care for the lime green.

You can always go purple!
