I don't mind black frames but what I don't like are the completely blacked-out bikes. I'm actually a fan of a classic gloss black frameset with silver anodized aluminum components. It's getting so that it is hard to find some accessories in silver. I recently bought a rear rack for my mutt and had the choice of black or white in the model I wanted and couldn't find a similar model in silver, so I'll be taking it to a local anodizing shop.
