[Closed] Show me your grey/silver bikes.

My new (to me) Bullit DH/AM build in progress, just waiting for an adaptor so I can use a 203mm front rotor 🙂

[img] [/img]

thinking when I can afford it I might tart it up with some subtle dark blue blingy bits (seat clamp, lock on clamps, chainring bolts, floating rotors etc).

[img] [/img]

Probably I wont change this for many a year, its a far better bike than I can ride.

Another huge saddlebag, bivvy mission to Bizkaia.
The silver ano works really well, mate has a silver painted Stumpy of about the same age as my 575 and it looks much older with all the chips and scratches.

EDIT: Can't get it out of my head now, so you can all suffer too 🙂

Hmm I like the shiny-ness of the alpine and the bullit but I also like the matte grey of the 5spot and the 4x but which is better? [url= http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=shiny&word2=matte ]There's only one way to find out....[/url]

..and it's finished. Not sure about the Boxxers, they seem like too much fork (especially as I'm going to want to ride up hill some times as well) and I'm tempted to try and change for a travel adjust single crown of some kind.

I think I need more colour 😕

Kinda [too] hard to work out properly, and clearly ... 🙄 , this is not the chassis you are looking for, but it's a great colour. If I had anything redone, it'd be in this colour.

here's my grey bike:

Am I alone in thinking that silver spokes/rims look nicer than black ones?

I know black was the new silver many years ago, but just like silver cars replaced white ones in the late 90's, what goes around comes around & white is back in fashion again, is black just dull now?

Funny that i'm hoping to get a different colour rim to go with the silver bike for same reasons as last comment.

[img] [/img]

my grey Sanderson. the colour is nice and (relatively) a lot of people comment. it's lost its shine noe and needs a new coat. might re-do it in grey or opt for somehthing a little more flashy (seeing as it now has a gold rear wheel).

Nicest finish on any bike I've had or seen
