It is really easy to "go cold" when you are only into something for the image aspect. You must have been one hellofa road rider with such dedication to the sport. Maybe you don't know anyone that cares about bikes and riding them because you don't care that much yourself?

Maybe you'll "go cold" on being a vegan sometime too, when the image reasons wear off of that little dabbling.

You ordered a bike...and PAID for it without knowing the color? Can we merge this thread with the Jacka*s thread? Just a guess, but maybe "slate" refers to, um, slate, like the stuff people use to make walkways? It's usually grey in color...
