I just received my Vulcan "Black" 15kg Women's Training Olympic Bearing Barbell today. So you can imagine my surprise when the bar was chrome! I called Vulcan and they assured me I had a better bar,which may be the case, but it is still confusing to say the least. (See Lauren A.'s review.) The description talks about the black oxide finish and the picture and video show the black bar. Afterwards I realized that the specifications say chrome and it does say new version in chrome at the top, but I took that to be an entirely different bar. Clearly the product name and the website needs some updating.
