It's pervasive in the mountain bike world and I've seen some, shall we say, rather unique colors out on the trail 😂.
What is "bare metal/black?" The discussion is about the silver tone of bare or clear anodized ALUMINUM which is silver-colored, VERSUS black-colored components either black carbon fiber, black painted, or black anodized.
What metal is black in its natural state?
