The oxide looked great at first but it would show nicks and scratches very easy. On top of that black oxide has no real corrosion resistance. I liked the two tone look but I didn't want to keep sand blasting the frame when ever it started to rust, which can happen real quick if some one who doesn't handle a lot of metal touches it. The plan was to leave the frame in the solution for less time then the other parts but when I did the first inspection it was allready more on the dark side of grey.
