I am starting this thread for BLACK SS BICYCLES and heavy metal memorabilia so post 'em if you got 'em!

I just got done building up this "none more black" Vassago Verhauen and I couldn't be more excited…



The muted black decals are sick!



More of the little things:



Other little things that make a big difference…



Nothing wrong with red on black;



Dropouts, also made in American, also black!



Lastly, this…



I ran out of allowance for this year but black cranks and a black Thomson stem will round out the build next year. Also just running some city tires until the snow melts; got some new Continental shoes for when the singletrack dries out.

Almost forgot the most metal part of all!

This bad-ass head badge..



And here's one more of the incredible and modest Whisky Parts Co branding:

My bike is white and I don't have any photos of my metal shirts. I did paint these as Christmas gifts for my metal-head friends. Black metal, so I guess it fits right in.

That's exactly what I'm talkin about! Nice bikes and killer nut crackers!

Would that be King Diamond?

I recently built a Surly by selling off grindcore, death metal and thrash lps and cds from when I ran a distro. It's orange, green, and pink, but in my eyes she is still darker than death and black like my soul. paintxdestroy.BlogSpot.com I'll pimp my blog, it sometimes has crap about bicycles and punk rock and heavy metal.

Would that be King Diamond?

This thread is racist against bikes of other colors.

 

[shankes3]

yes, racist; hold a race and we will win.

 

[AlexCuse]

That Canfield is glorious. Really making me question my decision of having a spare WI aluminum crank and some black rings in my parts bin...

 

[mryan1967]

Partial to blk and orange as well...

 

[shankes3]

Another wicked Vassago!
