I've slowly been eliminating the chrome on my Train. The next pieces I'm looking to do are the rims/pulley/rotors. I'm obviously going to go with black but it's the shade of black I'm unsure of.

Should I do gloss black to match the forks/bars or maybe a satin or flat black? The center section of the rear rim is a wrinkle/textured black but I don't think that would look right.

What do you guys think?

 

My opinion is you need to wear real shoes and long pants.

Gloss black rims.

 

Gloss black will pop more than either of the other finishes. That is what I'd do as a duller black will be nice for contrast but have a tendency to blend in to the background when you look at the bike.

 

That's my buddy sitting on my bike for picture purposes only. Interestingly enough, my old lady and her father were just busting my ***** today about how I don't wear anything other than jeans and logger boots...

 

Jeans and what ever hiking shoes I happen to pull out of the closet. So I'm no angel, but flip-flops and shorts get flamed around here, so I had to.
The color of your bike screams for gloss black.

 

I'd say gloss and have the rear fender struts done too.

 

Gloss for sure.

 

gloss

on a side note, this is the second time now --- why is it you always have yer buddy on posing on your bike? are you that ugly? lol

 

Gloss will go well with the forks, but flat will add contrast to the forks and paint.

 

Go gloss or polish what you have. They look very dull in the pic.

And the bars are too tall for your model. Bike looks way too big for him.

Also young want to do something about those shiny caliper bolts and that shiny rotor if your blacking out.
