kinda repeating myself some, but in my own thread
i'm buildin up a black anodized frame as a 1x8 xc bike
i plan to leave it without any decals (don't think it ever had any)
black rims, crank, bashguard, fork tubes/lowers, bars, stem, grips,cables,...
...you get the idea
i have actually seen a black 'mater cap once (in person)
the black 'mater topcap will be the pie'ce de re'sistance
or maybe i will have to have one done by the folks who make custom engraved ones
(is there even anybody left to sue me for copyright issues?)
I don't think you have anything to worry about being sued
Let me go to my check my Homegrown memorabilia stash. I remember one floating around. Don't get your hopes up, I'm just saying I'll check the stash. I'll post back tomorrow. My family is coming to my house for Xmas so I can't hide in the garage this evening. Wish I could. Ha. Later, Eric.

Sorry it took me so long. I had no luck finding a black tomato top cap. Keep up the search, or commission one to be made. I like the blackout idea your going for. Sounds mean.

This is not me or my auction. I would have given you the cap, but I spotted this one for sale.
