As can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/titus_racer_x_29er\/IMG_4822.jpg.html\">here<\/a> the chrome and yellow bits aren&#8217;t too terrible when taken in context with the yellow bits on the computer and the various silver things on the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Being cloth the cover of this one is also a bit rougher than I&#8217;m accustomed to, but that should be okay for now.
