Chrome; the invention of someone who ran out of design innovation

Chrome should be in the ratio of how many parts of a contaminate are allowed to be in public drinking water, like, one part chrome to every gazillion parts of not chrome

In Bl's defence those rushes look a lot like stock. I've heard lots of old guys say chrome is the new black.

"The Shining" by Cr 24

Oh, the shame of our brilliant chrominess. Forever burdened with the labors of polishing, only to gaze upon the gleaming reversed image of own oppressor.

Hail to thee, black. Never will we know the shadowy anonymity of your featureless matte world, effortlessly dispensed in all it's aerosol fury.

Fade, fade away... fade to black.

I was not a big fan of chrome, but I got such a good deal on my bike I bought it chrome and all, now, it has really grown on me and I would not change it now.

I love chrome, but not too much...too much chrome and mirror polish takes away from the overall look of the bike.

My dad always told me, you chrome anything you want to draw attention to.
