  1. 1. Do you prefer a plain, subtle or blinged bike?

    • As it came from the manufacturer

    • Subtly upgraded (more function than bling)
      39
    • The full bling (bling more important than function)
      3
    • Everything blinged (just for Pantani's cigarette box)

Checking mampara's bike (which I really like BTW) I wondered what do most prefer?

1) The bike as it came from the manufacturer or if own built with the standard colours etc. (no gold bolts/outers/brake housing/hubs/nipples)

 

2) With just some subtle changes that are more related to improve the performance or functioning of the bike. In this case some coloured bling in my opinion is OK!

 

3) Every possible part colour (not necessarily all the colours of the same hue ....) co-ordinated ................

 

4) The last one should only have 1 vote, in this case the owner defines the bike!

 

I reckon in some cases the bike ends up just looking horrible, bit like a 1.6 Camry with 20" spinner hubcaps ......

 

Don't get me wrong though some hubbers (Zas/Jules/Crux/Para to be specific) have shown some beauties recently - these guys seem to know just how much is enough!
