And I'll go with painted/powder coated rims. The Chrome thing has been beat to death since the 50s of the last century for gods sake. I do still like chrome for accents though. Did I over use the word Cool maybe ?
Heres something else people dont consider, someone off the street may say, "cool bike" id pay $$$ for it, but those are the people who know nothing about bikes and have no interest in buying one...
Ask that same person again after they've actually decided to buy a bike, and you will find they have been researching, been on this site, and know they can have a brand new one for less than one is asking... I just don't get it.
Any expectation of appreciation in value of a china made anything makes no sense to me.
