Relic six pack

Post by Skub »

In the guitar world 'roadworn' finish on new guitars has long been a thing. Costs you extra for a beat to schitt item.

Maybe it's coming to the bike world. It's a step up from a rat,at least.

I sort of like that. :D

There's a danger that it's all cosmetic but I quite like a bike that wears its 'battle scars' with pride. That one looks mechanically :thumbup: but a bit too artificially aged perhaps.

It looks very artificial, scabby looking standard CBX would look better.

That'll go nicely with my skinny jeans, Converse gutties and pisspot lid.
Might have to do one of those "Grow your own superhero chin" beards though.

And mines a espresso with soya milk please.
