Im not really a big fan of chrome or shinny things but then again there are some reallybad ass looking bikes on here(kaos got a sweet one with alot of shinneyies) but as for black goes i like it alot i dont like to wash my bike after every ride so it makes it easier for me. basically its all in what you want you van polish chrome or paint them any freakin color yeah thats it maybe we can start a new trend paint them some wild color and see if it catches on to other riders
