Still don’t get it, must a philistine I suppose? Is it just so YOU know that you’ve bought a cheapish bike but spent more money doing it up, without broadcasting the fact?
Then posting pics on here asking people to guess what the sublty-hidden modification might be? At the same time giving pointers to narrow the area of said modification down a bit? Thereby, making a no-so-subtle statement about the modification?
I can understand trying to do a subtle, yet performance-enhancing modification. I can also undrstand folks who want to advertise their big budget modifications/upgrades.
I CANNOT understand someone wanting to spend money on something, trying to disguise it as the original part THEN feel the need to draw folks’ attention to it, so everyone knows what the subtle modification was?
Each to their own, but I think pointless, vainglorious waste of time/money/effort/paint/stickers.
