A while ago I posted the bike I bought, and the next purchase is a new stem, I'm either gonna get a black one or a silver/chrome one, but can't decide

Here's the bike when I bought it

Here's the bike so far

I've changed grips, break leaver, wheels, seat clamp, seat, pedals, break pads, removed the tacky stock and weird stickers that were stuck on and had my mate create me a superdry decal, oh and removed those tacky metal valve caps for normal ones, it's all part of the murdered out look

I reckon silver would look odd seeing as the rest of the bike is black. I say get the black one.

Top loaded stems do look better tbh, tough choice, I was gonna keep the black bolts with the xposure stem but could be swayed into salvation.

You should have all the parts black, but somehow get all the little bolts and screws and nuts to have rainbows on them :D

Looks dope man. I wish I could run those monstrous 2.25 tires in the back, my '06 frame can't handle them heheh.
The bikes with straight brake cable, big tires, and the black on black color scheme has a nice trails look. Good job.
