Post by: bobbysam on August 30, 2011, 08:43 PM: Black looks good but chrome balances out the rear end, got to be chrome but.....what the fook do I know :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on August 30, 2011, 09:10 PM: Black looks better and harder with more style - that will give you more points in looking cool - if you go with the black one's then you will be up to 1 point :daumenhoch:

Post by: Julian347 on August 30, 2011, 09:14 PM: Chrome gives a nice balance but the black edges it for me. Ask me tomorrow and I'd probably say chrome. They both suit it.

Post by: Robbo on August 30, 2011, 09:17 PM: Difficult this one, its sat in the lounge watching the tv with me much to the wifes dissaproval and the chrome does look nice.....

Think I'll leave the chrome bars on for the London ride so people can comment on it in the flesh. :daumenhoch:

Post by: Robbo on August 31, 2011, 11:49 AM: I posted this same thread on the museum and the chrome is winning by miles, just goes to show the Americans like bling and us Brits are more conservative.... ::)

Post by: theRuler on August 31, 2011, 11:51 AM: The chrome bars suit the black-chrome-black-chrome theme perfectly.

Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: ED209 on September 01, 2011, 11:21 PM: actually it looks better with chrome bars... but I still think it needs chrome forks to be perfect

IMFO :D

A Trickstar! you iz going back in time again Rob! :)
Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: Robbo on September 02, 2011, 09:14 AM: Its back to black for now, shame as I'm still looking at the chrome pictures and getting mixed thoughts about leaving them on! ::)
Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: Robbo on September 02, 2011, 08:19 PM: Nabbed this BITD picture from a good FB buddy John Buultjens, he is a bit of a riding legend and now has his own bike company.

Anyway, he built this Master and as he only started with a frame he paired it up with chrome bars and forks. I'm tempted to make my Master look like this, my forks are chrome under the powder and as nice as it is having a bike that is almost factory I'm tempted to customise it, can always re powder the forks one day if I get bored???

What do you think? :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: welsh denny on September 02, 2011, 08:36 PM: hard to say which i prefer. like you said if you were going for factory spec then black. custom spec then black or the chrome. chrome does look good though.

should've had a third option - can't decide. :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: monkeybat on September 03, 2011, 10:17 AM: You should allways make the bars the same colour as the forks-black in your case. A bit feng shway I know but thats just me.
Title: Re: Black or Chrome kneesavers?
Post by: punkdSICO on September 03, 2011, 10:27 AM: I just voted for Chrome. Normally, I would have said black but, with your chrome back end, the chrome bars then add a symmetry to the back.

but saying that, they both look good..
