Mine (langster) is a funky black-ish gunmetal color, eh I think yellow w/yellow tires would be cool, but that's the color it comes in. With stickers, all is possible though!

I'm not a big fan of just flat black. I like a deep grey, gunmetal grey or carbon with a visual texture.

My roadbike's nude carbon black... with the weave pattern of course. :)

I also want to show off my newly built black homemade repair stand that I constructed for under $40. ;)

My MTB is mostly nude carbon black with a weave and multigrain finish.

I also don't like components that are totally black. For instance, the cranks on my MTB while annodised black have a slight purple tint to them. The XTR groupset is that matte gunmetal grey. The chainrings on my RB have a similar colour. I see that Campagnolo is releasing Centaur in a polished gunmetal colour. I think I'd prefer that finish over polished silver. Of course I'd prefer the carbon finish of Record over all. ;)

I have a black bike which I truly love to own and ride. But it is not my origninal black Schwinn World roadie which I gave away a short time ago. I now own a simple, (still black) folding bike which is more my style at this point in my life.

I know mine's not quite in the big dollar category as the one's above, but it is black. I love to ride it but must wipe it over after every ride as it shows the dust something shocking.

My Surly pacer is black with silver accents and I figure as long as drivers can see my lights and reflective straps on my chrome back I'm set. If not, I'll see ya in the ER.

I am personnaly attached to black for some things. Both my road bikes are black by choice. Aside from just liking the color black on a bike, I have found that touching up minor scratches/nicks is very easily done with generic black touch up auto paint from any auto parts store. I've attached a pic of my 17 year old Benotto. I refinished it in black a couple of years ago.

The Pinarello (that fork ah....) and that Giant(what model is that) are to drool for... Look 486/585 in nude carbon with boras...(gcasillo's... I like).... soloist... Kuota ksano, khan...(deep breath).

Now I gotta blank my mind before I spend the next few weeks brooding over them and these...

Her is my Allez Sport in black--white tape on bars is going once it gets grungy enough, which shouldn't be long, replacing with black or red.
