Beating a dead horse - are matte finishes here to stay?
Maybe it’s because as a kid I remember a new bike being associated with “shiny,” but it feels like going on a decade and I still haven’t fallen in love with the matte finish trend. At least, I thought it was a trend. Bike shopping again and for 2021 I see lots of matte finishes once more. Taste is subjective, so I don’t knock anyone’s matte bike, or them for liking it. I’ve seen some I thought looked nice, but am I just a dinosaur for loving a clean glossy finish? (And don’t even get me started on gloss metallic!). So are matte finishes here to stay?
(And yes, the thread title should say "finishes," not "finished.")
