Those are fucking glorious.
But dude - clean your drivetrains! And when you lube your chains, take the time to just put a single drop on each roller, and then spend a while wiping the excess off the chain after it's worked in. Repeat after a short ride, a couple of times.
That way you can have a lubed chain while maintaining full bling. Only the inside of the chain and the edges of the teeth will be black. What's more, it's probably good for more longevity, because you don't have this big sticky mess attracting grit which can then work its way inside the chain.
