a color chain on a langster would never work

I had a bike mechanic friend who build up his new bike with all that colored stuff, chains, spokes, 4 colors of spoke nipples, . . . He took it to a local Century ride the day it was finished and it was stolen within the hour. You do not have to be gaudy to be cool. Try all gloss black (except the spokes).
