This is a little bit of a rant, but what has happened to white components in MTB? A few years ago I was looking at white hydraulic brakes and white forks. Over the last couple weeks I've done a search for white rims and white handlebars. I can't find anything. It's not even so much that I want them, but seems odd. I've found a white Suntour fork that may or may not be fakes. I came across some Sun rims that were white but apparently are an old model because I can't find anything other than the web page I happened to stumble upon. I did find another obscure rim on eBay. Fox has an orange fork for goodness sake, but not white? I saw a white Truvativ stem. I don't know if I came across any others. Point is, the pickens seem to be slim.
What happened to white colors?

It was making people think it was ok to wear white sunglasses.
It isn’t.

That's just my opinion, but.
White parts, especially white forks and rims do look so out of place and don't do well with other colors.
So I'm glad those days are gone.

Not even after labor day?
I never understood white grips, or bar tape. Might as well just get multi-beige

1988. Suntour had a special edition XC 9100 front and rear derailleur and shifters that were white on the GT Avalanche. The bike came with a GT crank with a white spider.
