See pic related for when the bike was *just* black and brown, and managed to get 2000 or so reddit points and lots of (you)'s here. You're not arguing from a majority viewpoint.
>>1357641Those things being black would look weird on a vintage steel bike, because we're conditioned to seeing them as silver. Nothing would look good to most people then because it'd look wrong.
That said, the brown would still be an accent color to the *blue*. The primary colors are black and blue. Even if I accept your premise, the whole point is that the black and silver accent one another, the black and blue accent one another, and the brown and blue accent one another.
Going a little more in depth, the black is all balanced toward the bottom of the bike.
>>1357642No we could agree on things that didn't, by necessity, require me to lie to agree with you on.
Brown saddles and bartape disappeared because leather was replaced by cheaper synthetic materials that function as good or far better. That's literally all. See, I disagree with you there, again.
