Black and Chrome.

Gnarlyscoots:
I have been putting a bike together over the past few months and have been stuck on what chainring to fit. I have a silver Takagi fitted at present, which I had stripped and anodised clear. The frame and fork is chrome (that is pretty much the only colourway I like on frames for some reason lol), the rims are NOS and have the lightly polished look to them, the hubs are chrome, the spokes are chrome, the calliper is chrome, the cable is black, the bars are chrome, the lever is chrome, the seat clamp and stem are chrome, the headset is chrome and the tyres are black/skinwall.

So, as i said, I am stuck on the ring. Do I get it chromed or keep it silver? The cranks are chrome and the disc is black, with chrome bolts.

My thing though is this. I have recently seen a lot of builds that are 'blinged' with chrome and polished out parts, with a touch of black on them, and they just look so lifeless. They look like supermodels on catwalks, and that is just not me to be honest. I do have a yellow seat and yellow grips for it which aren't fitted yet so that may just break it for me but at the moment, I just don't want to go on with it.

Does anyone feel like this when they look at these type of builds? Does it make sense what I am waffling on about  ;D

OG finish every time for me.  You can't polish a turd, but you can chrome it ;)

 :LolLolLolLol: I spent the afternoon polishing a stem then knocked it back.... then polished it...... then knocked it back further. couldnt make my mind up which i prefered.   :-\

In the end i thought polishing is for carpet queens and i dont do them so knocked back it stayed

Personally i reckon a chrome crank and ring with a black disc would look shite.

Bfellows:
Then stick a rotor on it....... You know it makes sense ;)

This is what I have at present........It may just be the ring style  ???
