Bike Check – JBall’s Black Ruff Glimmer
Recently I built up a fresh Ruff Glimmer frame in a rare color choice for me… black! Although the only reason I did this was because they were sold out of raw at the time, I ended up being really happy with how the build turned out. I’ve had a black Ruff before but wasn’t in love with how that bike looked. Why do I like my black build now though?
I think the black fork, proto bars, and chrome details are really helping me love my current bike. Full rundown after the jump!
