true, mine was previously painted black as I last has a black frame, might polish it to match the current bike. But the functionality of having both wheels off the deck seriously out weighs the looks
I made the bike adaptor in stainless then drilled for the locking pin, It just gives you total piece of mind when working on it and keeps it level. I also sit on the bike whilst fitting or removing as one time I nearly dropped it, because you tend to pull the stand and push the bike
