I’m between Milk Tea and Stealth, but pushing towards milk tea because of the glossy finish. If anyone’s got any pictures of these bikes in person too that would be great to see!

Glossy finishes are generally easier to clean than matte finishes. Because of their smooth, non-porous surfaces, liquids and dirt wipe off effortlessly.
Matte finish will show every fingerprint and smudge.
Here’s my Stealth (2023), which also has a full frame matte-finish protective wrap. Matte black is matte black; nothing to write home about. One either likes its understatedness, or finds it boring. I love it, and I I think the gold sprinkling works well with it.
Note that Stealth may reveal a bit of carbon weaving, which again, some find cool and some find tacky.
Note that with clear frame wrap (and paticularly that with a matte finiah), you’ll have no issues with fingerprints.
