  3. Why did they make the SA adjusters in a different colour to the SA?

  4. I think they are an uncoated, natural alloy finish, unlike the swinging arm, although I'm not certain if that is anodised or powder.

  11. I'm not a fan of the black matt bikes, they just look like it's been stolen and some scrotes with tins of matt black from Halfords have tried to disguise it. They also time date to about 3-4 years ago where people did the matt black thing, thought it was cool but then realised it was like pine cladding and lycra.

    Gloss black on the other hand, lovely.
