One of the nice things about getting old is you remember what used to be in style so you know styles are going to change again. I think it was just this past spring that somebody was complaining about all black bikes and components.
Feel free to chuckle at the folks with the blinkys neon and fur. They're probably laughing at you for being too bland.
