>>1152055>same aesthetic juvenille 'minimalist' boat as fixiefaggotryNo way man. Paint Jobs are so prevalent today because.
1) The steels used to make bikes for the last century rust, look terrible raw and must be painted
2) Paint jobs ended up a place to project a brand logo, then with certain paintjobs becoming associated with certain brands
If you dont care for brands, perhaps built your bike up part by part and ride metallurgy with a protective oxide layer it just makes sense (and happens to be aesthetic)
