I've recently removed the huge rim logos from my Spitfire (you'll have to mentally photoshop them out) which I think takes it to stealth pole position in this thread:

Superstar Excel grips in light blue.

My old NS Surge - way too small and way too fun.

What a pooch! Gorgeous, more pics please. 😀

Some red ano bits hiding somewhere and brown bits too, but the whole thing lost it's way when I added the pedals - they need to go....

Soon to have ccdb inline...and a black LEV cable housing cover. Will also change the pivot bearing covers to black when the bearings need replacing.

@ CG ty very much - he is isn't he? The dogs are my wife's thing, she shows them whilst I ride bikes 🙂 She has 3 of those amongst others

3 of them? Sounds like a lot of grooming to me! I hope they're able to swim every day?

Me freshly blooded '08 Giant Trance. Picked up the frame ages ago and had it powder coated matt black. Everything else is new bar the brakes and forks which I scrounged off my parted out MC Fury.

My FlyXii hard tail, I adore this bike, so damn ridable, should really get a shot with its newer shorter stem though.

@Scandal42

The grips came from rutlandleisureoutlet on eBay.

Mine were similarly cheap, and are a bit hard, but only on my knock about bike so put up with them.

My FlyXii hard tail,

I rather like that, even with the bar ends!

Fairly black...

I rather like that, even with the bar ends!

Haha thanks I think, they are Controltech Stubbies, I wanted a neo-retro feel when I built this bike, and they are pretty handy on the climbs as they always were. Flatbar of course dahlings, on risers you should be shot on sight.

All my bikes are black, that way when a new addition is added to the herd, the mrs's enquiries are deflected with the answer, "The black one, no darl, had this for ages"

My roadie I built up earlier this year again, more a satin black
