what do you guys think about chrome bars on a black frame bike? silver rim sidewalls, but other than that, all black?

Don't do it. For two reasons:

#1 Chrome plating weakens steel... Unless they're aluminum bars, you're begging for trouble.

#2 Chrome on an otherwise black bike? Naaaaaaah.

the loss of strength is relavent(sp?)

I've had just about every part possible in chrome at one time or another. frames, forks, bars, stems, cranks, seat post, brakes, pedals, rims and yes, even tires

some parts broke, some didn't. it may have been from the chroming but I doubt it.

you didn't mention how much you weigh, how hard you ride, what you ride etc.

as for what looks good with what colors? I could care less. I'm more about the riding then the fashion. the onlyl one color I really don't like is pink.

Ride what works and is going to last. It's not a fashion show, but maybe that's me. I guess you could go put on your Calvins on and bling out your bike. I'll see you on the trail. That's it your not to busy buffing your bike

If you have chrome bars and a black bike that needs bars, put them on. If you have black bars too, put those on and look like every other rider out there with an all black bike. Or get out some sandpaper and spraypaint and make those bars any color you want, maybe dayglo orange?
