What does the phrase "murder out" mean to you? I have some friends who use that term a lot when discussing mtn-bike parts. I just got some Stans ZTR Flow rims and my buddy said I should take all the stickers off to "murder it out".
I haven't murdered a thing on my bike except for some tubes and a crank. I have heard that removing stickers helps with the aerodynamics though! :thumbsup:
I do like the "murdered out" look but I've got to have some color.
I removed the stickers on last set of Stan's rims on this bike.
Built these up last year and just couldn't do it.
I dig black rims and frame with white fork.
I thought this thread was revived from the dead at first. There is an old one with nearly an identical title. If you want an all black bike that's fine but this "murder out" term needs to die its own quick death.
doesn't it kill the murder-effect when you have shiny silver discs, tan/gold stanchions, silver bolts throughout build, silver chain, cassette, etc etc..
I wish there were more options to eliminate this and make the bike 100% black. Trust me, that would look REALLY nice:thumbsup:
Creativity is individual to every person. Murdering out a bike can have subjective gloss and matte parts to create uniqueness and creativity. It is not just as simple as spraying the entire bike with a black rattle can.
Not to mention, that is just what some people like. Not every one wants purple caliper bolts.
I'm not a fan - it resembles what people do to crappy cars to make them look somewhat less crappy and in the end make them look like silly high-school disasters.
To me, that is. I try not to judge though. If that's your thang, that's your thang.
i think an all matte black bike (or car or anything else) can look really good if it's done tastefully.
for that matter, an all olive drab MTB/flat black accents bike would be a pretty cool look as well.
this coming from a man who rides a bright blue bike sporting neon yellow brake levers that could be spotted on a moonless night a mile and a half away...
They are not out yet. I am patiently waiting for my discs to show up...
