Older ones were painted black I have a few different ranges of the black ones. The older ones have thicker webbing. The recent ones are chrome plated and have thinner webs than than the previous generation ones. The previous generation black ones have the same web and support thicknesses are the ones they made in the early 90's. The early 90's cassettes were nickel plated and had red "HG-50" stickers on the largest cogs. They also were held together with small long bolts instead of riveted together like the black ones or current generation ones. The black ones were likely made with the same tooling as the early 90's ones. Older ones were painted black I have a few different ranges of the black ones. The older ones have thicker webbing.

Silver. I thought it would be black because of the picture, but mine showed up silver.

Asked the same question directly to Larry's Bicycles and got this reply: "It"ll be silver thats the only color that model comes in. Not sure why amazon has black/bronze there." So... Silver.

It is black as stated by IIIMik3, but with any color, after a lot of use the cogs will turn black with oil and gunk anyway.

We bought this item last year. The color is black and it has some nice silver patina (spelling??). We are very happy with it.

I wouldn't call it brown, but it definitely isn't silver...more like a burnished metal if that helps. Once in a while even takes on a hint of an olive color. Hard to describe but I wd say more on the burnished copper end of things than silver It definitely does depend on the lighting but does not clash with anything that I have. I love it...

It has black, tan, and brown. The backing is a nice medium brown with black stars, etc. You can always return it if you don't like it. I like it so much, I bought a second one for a spare.

I wasn't able to specify color. I was sent black. I ordered another one (which was defective) and that was silver.

It's bronze, like a very dark chocolate brown. The picture does look black or charcoal but it's a very appealing deep brown.

It is very dark but not black. It's a deep, rich brown. The picture is pretty true to color.

Very dark brown. Looks black, but you can see a bit of brown wood grain if you look close.

It is black. It is kind of in between. It is not real dull, but not overly shiny either. I guess if you were to lean toward something, I would lean a little more toward shiny. It actual is a very nice piece.

If you ordered black it will be really dark brown. And it's super shiny. Almost too shiny like Barbie hair. Not bad though.

It's a antique grey color. Not brown. I love mine. It is not on the silver looking side, it's darker.

it's like a dark brown. I thought it was black when I ordered it but it's not. it looks pretty close to black...but not quite.

It is a very dark brown (espresso), it is almost black. I had the ottoman for a few months now with 3 kids jumping on it every day and it still looks like new. Very good quality.

Sorry for the delay. It appears to be a very dark brown. Though honestly I'm not 100% sure.

It has a fair amount of black on the sides and bottom. The top is definitely brown and gold. I think it is very pretty, and much shinier than picture shows.

It is not a true black or brown. I think it is closer to an oil rubbed bronze finish. Hope that helps!
