everything and if not carbon, components that are just black on black.
I can’t seem to escape it. I thought Shimano was on a great path releasing a limited edition polished GRX group set back in the day but that may have been the last pretty set.
Hell, even Campagnolo doesn’t offer anything polished besides their entry level group.
Do you think bikes will ever come back to polished components or are we stuck in this dark black/gray carbon era.
I have not grown tired of seeing carbon components because very few bikes come with carbon components. Like a really really small %.
Black components are a long standing trend. If you dont like that color for components, buy some anodized components or silver components. These will be aftermarket since the already mentioned longstanding trend is black components.
