I would probably suggest you should buy a new rear wheel.
-
• #3
velocity deep v rims , in all black, Gran Compe Dia Compe black hubs
omnium black cranks -
• #4
loose the spacers and get a 0 degree stem to give you a similar position.
-
• #5
You wouldn't happen to have a place that I could buy one of those rear wheels all built up
-
• #6
black cinelli pepper riser bars could look good in combination with the stem suggested by @JT
plus, i would put this saddle on your bike http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/octane-one-rocket-saddle/rp-prod127265

• #7
surely i would have to cut the fork and then risk it not being compatible if i bought a new different sized frame
-
• #8
any anything a bit cheaper than that saddle is a bit out of my price range, want to focus on buying that rear wheel first

IMHO it is nicer to have a matching wheelset, nothing wrong with the one you already have on. Modern looking saddle (try E-bay for used SLR or similiar), 0 degree stem (you could put spacers on top if you are worried about the fork steerer) and compact bars would be in place for street use!

-
• #13

looking for a fully black wheelset, trying to create an assassin here

might get a 40mm black rear with a black miche hub then a front white 30mm machined rim with a silver hub? or maybe a silver rim on the front?

• #17

noooo dont do white rim.
what about both black but deep rear rim and shallow front?
-
• #19
could you just paint the current one black? if theres nothing wrong with it?
omnoms, cut steerer, paint wheel black, dif stem as above ^ and take the blb logos off and it would look pretty good
-
• #20
I mean yeah that is an option but I have some money to spend so I'd like to get something nice looking
-
• #21
How would i paint it though?
-
• #22
-
• #23
How does it look when finished though? Surely not great
-
• #24
If it's all black anyway just get some black paint from halfords, matte usually looks best, take the tyre off and spray it! Easy. Mask any bits you don't want done with masking tape.
Sharpie and black electrical tape are good temp solutions, both look pretty good. A lot of people use the elec tape trick on spoks
