Bling is for people who need attention.

I say if it isn't chrome, it isn't on.

So what are the generic rules when it comes to Bling-ing your bike?

Everything should match man... don't be silly.

 

 

 

Stick to blacks, silvers and whites where possible.

 

 

 

I would go for:

 

 

 

Cranks - nice bling set of FSA or something

 

BB - Go ceramic

 

Skewers - KCNC coloured ones

 

Bar tape - go white, but it does get dirty

 

Bars - the new 3T stuff is nice

 

Tyres - go for a coloured one - Vitoria do nice ones

 

Bottle cages - carbon is expensive, but nice

 

 

 

I would not waste my time with:

 

 

 

Coloured huds... i have white and they just get dirty

 

Crank bolts - all that cash for no real change

 

Saddle - if it aint cumfy, don't buy it

 

 

 

You can also look into doing custom re-spray's with the cycle art guys...

So now I ask. Is a bling bike a racing bike or a show piece?
