Yeah not really a fan of the black stuff, but rims seem to hold up better then the other components.
Kickstands I like, as long as they are the built in Schwinn ones, the rest are kind of flimsy, and just trash the paint on the rear stays.
The mini fenders are totally useless, but still look cool on a lot of bikes.
Brifters look dorky on classic bars, so I guess that’s what the anotomica ones are for.
Grease who cares, cheap and lasts forever.
I tend to wrap bars top down, cause I don’t like using the little pieces of tape to finish it off, both ways work, just get the color right.
I guess the thing that really bugs me the most, but obviously few others, is the angled top bar on a road bike. That will never stop bugging me, looks fine on a mountain bike though.
