ti dye spokes, did think about getting them but not that good if built wrong.

It takes quite a few miles before the gold wears through from pad contact - but they do look super bling

after a weekend of serious abuse - although only 25 miles or so offroad in wet sandy soil conditions the gold is on its way out over the braking surface.......... but they work well if not a little more noisy than the avid rotors.Falcon Sierra - 80's

Ta - here's another pic
Still can't decide - anyone got any pics with the gold floaters? They look a bit yellow rather than gold in pics I've seen.0 -
Oh Bu@@er!
Just ordered my new bike, and I have plumpted for a gold handlebar! :shock:
The frame is deep metallic purple with gold lettering etc, so I just wanted to pick that gold up and repeat it a few times. So bars and chain, and probably pedal springs on the eggbeaters when I get them.
So I'm worried by everyone who said that any big bits are too much.
I'm reassured by the comments that deep dark colours work well with gold.
But like jonnyc2420, there will be so many other things to upset people, I'm not to fussed! I think I'm going to love it, it's my bike, so I don't really mind what others think. But as the sig says, it will be the ultimate marmite bike!Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.

Hmmm. not quite my thing i don't think.
pastey_boy - you like that your bikes stand out? *hmmm, I say a visit to a shrink might be good for this guy*
