Be aware that 'Denim Black' paint is thinner than Posh Spice and very prone to wearing through in contact areas. On the upside it will give you an excuse for a respray in the next two years.

You say that now .......

Is the Denim finish that poor then?

It looks kinda cool in the showroom... But what do I know?

My Dad used to wear a matching blue denim jacket and jeans in 1976. He also used to have a Bobby Charlton "comb over" as well. And yes he looked a twat when it was windy and was outside without his bobble hat.

if it has solid wheels throw them away and get some proper spoked wheels

From my understanding the denim black is easier to care for. It was a tough choice between Vivid Black and Denim Black for me and I will say that the vivid black bike is faster =) A shame they couldn't get one for you...

I have a good buddy who bought the denim black just after mine and has had really good luck thus far. Just follow the directions, mostly the "don't" section.

Enjoy the Bob! Nothing beats the look of those double headlights, and the saddle is the most comfortable I've ridden from the MoCo.

I've been told that as long as you do not try to polish it in any way, just give it a wash and a wipe down it's fine...but, like all matt finishes it will be unforgiving to rub marks etc. I saw a 8,000 mile, two year old street bob in denim the other day and it was unmarked...


Ohh, and welcome.......

It is not the paint that you need to worry about!

And welcome.

If by 'fade' he meant wear through, then he's spot on
