Anybody have a picture of their (or a) ride with a naked carbon fork, naked black seatpost and a stem painted to match the frame?

Thanks.

Both are.

Does it work? I still can't tell after seeing it.

I think the Soma looks good.

Bronze isn't my favorite color for bike frames, so I'm more ambiguous on that one.

But IMO the one Matt posted definitely shows that the concept can work well.

Its hard to say anything as a rule me thinks, but it certainly can imo.
Has a fresh look about it to not also have the fork painted to match. Not better or worse, just different n fresh .)

I think it really depends on the rest of the build, but I usually prefer that the stem and fork match, since they are moving as a unit.


And, of course, when in doubt.... ;)
