i reckon brooks is quite bling even though they don't mean it to be.

Anything decked out in XTR and/or CK seems bling to me...
Very nice Chameleon.

Way off the blingest here but mine would have been my Merlin Oreas. Ti frame, XTR M970 chainset/cassette/front mech SRAM X0 shifters/rear mech Tune hubs on ZTR rims/Control Tech Ti skewers Easton EC90SL bars and seatpost Avid Ultimates with Hope floating rotors CK Rasta headset Ritchey WCS stem/grips. Stunning ride and at 21.3lb a flyer too

Postie's blue beastie is one of the finest looking bikes on here. Nto sure it's really bling, but it is lovely!
Oh, and XT equipped bikes simply cannot be "bling". XTR or X0 as a bare minimum standard.

Well everyone knows they're more interested in chameleons then anything else, so here we go..
Only missing xtr chainset I think.

Not particularily bling by STW standards but it does have a fair bit of XTR (chainset, rear mech, shifters and brakes).Posted 2 years ago # -

thats certainly a start i just think there is more to it, on my bike the nearist it gets to bling is the xtr cranks, velo solo SS conversion and DaKine ganga grips everything else is just to none bling.
A chameleon frame can be bling but it must be polished or anodized none of the above are. all nice but not bling.
those matchmakers CFH harps on about are bling as there not needed, black thomson not bling, silver bling. black and silver CK not bling coloured CK bling
hadges bikes on the way, and craigs pedals have a certain unusualness. Possibly posties cranks but there a bit shapeless.

Does anyone here have any Yumeya or XX yet, though? Surely that's the epitome of mainstream bling? OK, there are such lunacy items as Retromechs like Pauls, or the new school madness of 5Rot (in German only) I suppose.

Hadge I think that's the only superlight bike I have seen that looks like it would actually be fun to ride.

I see no real bling so far, but some nice looking bikes
Very nice Merlin btw. My kind of bike. Still waiting for my frame to arrive, so no piccie from me just.Inspiration though?

You can't beat a bit of Italian flair:
(Well, I saw it in the town of Sarentino in the Alto Adige)
Posted 2 years ago # -
that look bike probably has a fair bling proportion, but it looks bleugh. custom headtube badge thats bling, ibis frame bling also.
Thing with bling is its not always a good thing, I prefer to know my components are not going to snap, of course the two can be combined.

Not completely tricked out yet, but Tune hubs, X-0, carbon and thompson. On a 5" Ti full susser. 26 and a bit lbs, ridden by a 16 stone talentless eejit...

My bike (or similar) rrp'd at £4k a year ago, yet there's not one component on it I'd describe as bling - although mine doesn't have the XTR chainset of the stock bike. The blingiest item I suppose is the S-Works carbon frame.
Spec:
Carbon frame
Spesh boingy bits - forks rrp at a grand, although there have been issues with them for many folk
XT drivetrain/XTR front mech
Thomson post
Roval Traversee wheels
Hope Tech M4's
CB Mallet pedals
SRAM PG/PC990/991 chain & cassette
Easton EA50 bars
Spoon saddlePosted 2 years ago # -
That LOOK is fantastic. Saw one of those on Leatherhead station a couple of weeks ago. Jaw. Dropped.

Hey!
I like to think my five is pretty bling - especially with it's completely unnecessary vented floaters...
Failing that, the missus' factory pimped Zesty turns a few heads...
His 'n' hers...

Custom 853 Curtis has turned a few heads, weighing in at 21.5lb, rides like a dream, convinced me to get another hardtail geary and sell the Flux
Posted 2 years ago # -
that Ibis is doing it for me, love the look of the Mojo frame, and white is THE colour for pimp bikes. My fave STW bike so far.
Ti full sus should be a dictionary definition for Bling, but the collection of rear linkages on that litespeed is giving me a headache (no offence andy, I have a love of Ti bikes and am just bitter beyond words).

....in the eye of the beholder and all that, but that Pace is flat out ugly.
Not pretty at all.
