Salsaboy has a jewelled headset spacer if memory serves me right.
Mine's pretty bling (for off the shelf components) but as a general rule I never buy major bits new, and try to pay a maximum of 50% of rrp. Only the forks, bars, cables and grips are an exception to that rule on this bike. There are things that could be bingier, but wouldn't be as strong, and I'm a big clumsy fit who likes to ride it more than look at it.

Do we have a winner?
It said blinging, not minging!
that was a crc email promo bike 🙂
I'm tempted to post mine but I have no XTR or Chris King components which takes it out of the running IMO.
king and xtr not bling, just functional
Functional, yes but still bling! More so than XT and hope anyway.
igm - MemberNahh - I reckon you've all headed to a higher plane of existence where titanium is regarded as a Halfords special material.
Nahn - They just CBA to post up any pictures of their unobtanium egochariots. 😉
As tollah said back there.
An off the shelf production bike can never be propper bling no matter how many colour coordinated parts it's got on it.
Nice maybe yes but bling no.
Toons wins!
Bling ish...

Just needs some XTR.
Full carbon ss would be quite bling...
Oooooo Littlegirlbunny that's niiiiiice!
Is this bling?
As stated earlier, bling is going above and beyond the 'off the shelf' variety of bike that we see (mostly) in this thread. Anyone can get their credit card out, spend a few hours on the internet ordering stuff and claim that their bike is bling.
To that end I submit Flameboy

Pate - only insert from 'http:// to .jpg' for images
Surely [i]Bling[/i] means 'in yer face' and 'a bit vulgar'. Subtle sophistication is where it's at really 8)
not mine, mate's bike

...that ok not at its most bling.

You should have seen the state of my bike after today's ride. I dare not fit nice components.
Pate, you only need the bit that starts "http" and ends ".jpg". What you've done is copy the html code from flickr. Under the "share this" tab, you should check the "BBCode" box & just copy and paste the text, rather than using the "IMG" tags on here.

My Mountain Cycle Fury not exactly bling but I like it!

im loving some of the DH bikes!! that one 951 is looking nice and the 2005-06 glory but the trek is just sex lol how sad
Bling-bling (or simply bling) is a slang term popularized in hip hop culture, referring to [b]flashy, ostentatious[/b] or elaborate jewelry and [b]ornamented accessories[/b] that are carried, worn or installed, such as cell phones or tooth caps. The concept is mostly associated with rappers.
In the first years of the 21st century, a new meaning of the word has emerged in the form of a transitive verb pimp, which means [b]"to decorate" or "to gussy up"[/b] (compare primp, especially in Scottish usage). This new definition was made popular by Pimp My Ride, an MTV television show.[2] Although this new definition paid homage to hip-hop culture and its connection to street culture, it has now entered common, even mainstream commercial, use.
Hmmmmm, I'm off to gussy up my ride . . . or I would if my blinkin' parcels would arrive 😥
Oh and another vote for Sol's Trek and the 951 here too 😛
