How long until the trend goes back to chrome (or something else) when every bike sitting out there is blacked out?
Or maybe full color powder coating will be next...
Could you imagine people painting their bikes like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamsuit?
trend doesn't matter, I've wanted black since on everything and no chrome since 1976, I don't see following a trend for acceptance. she's already more black than pictured.
Wasn't following a trend with mine either. Just got tired of polishing after every ride with all my other bikes. I'm lucky if I even wash this one more than 4-5 times a year. A little windex and a diaper and I'm good to go. Not sure I'll EVER go back to chrome. It's also been this way since before it was the "in" thing. Kinda makes me mad how big it's gotten but I love looking at everyone else's. I used to get compliments. LOL
