I wonder if this is normal? Bike is around 3 weeks old, with only 450km distance riden. I was obce caught by the rain and cleaned the bike twice (with a degreasing & waxing bike shampoo lol)
I mean its not a big deal but I just like to keep the stuff aesthetic
Idk if i chose the right flag

That’s pretty normal. If you don’t like it get some anodized m5 bolts but I wouldn’t worry. PS maybe use some slightly less aggressive cleaning products. I only clean my bikes with dishsoap and warm water.
Steel screws come with a treatment called black oxide which is pretty easy to remove I wouldn’t worry too much
As another has said, it’s just a treatment from the screw production. If aesthetics are the main concern, companies can make screws out of whatever material you can think of including plastic that won’t have this issues
