On my previous bike I was stopped at a red light when the guy in the passenger seat of the pick up truck next to me said "that sure looks like an expensive bike". At that point i took off in the opposite direction and made a few quick turns and went inside of a supermarket. I had a few other people comment that the bike looked expensive.
So when I replaced it I went for satin black and minimal logos so it looks like a rattle can bike from Walmart.
