Even if they don't match perfectly when they are together, spaced out across your frame they may look close enough for it not to matter!
Looking forward to seeing this.

Dis gonna be brilliant.
Nouveau retro ftw.
...on 175mm cranks due to bike fit / preference? Our dearest supreme leader, it would be remiss if I did not remind you of dat dere pedal strike.

Pedal strike is only an issue with low BB's, which track frames (generally) don't have. I run 175s fixed and have never had pedal strike. People use it as an excuse to go to 'trendy' 165mm cranks

Never pedal strike?
It happened when I try and join a pro peleton recently.. was cringe.

What frame and crank length? Theres always the 'don't lean' approach

Pedal strike has never happened to me. It'll be fine.

And yes, 175mm = bike fit.

Everything is here.

Well, almost everything... seems I only ordered 1 tyre. Oops. Anyone got a spare Conti Grand-Prix 4 Season in 25mm?

The hubs and Nitto part are close enough that the gold will work.

This bike will be a triumph of silliness. I'm looking forward to riding it.

Now I have it all together... I think this build might actually work.

The only really ugly bits are the brake calipers (Dura-Ace) and the brake lever.

are they gold?

The brakes? No.

Black and silver calipers (DA 9000):

Though the lever part of the brake lever is gold. Oh yesh.

Gold brake or no brake.

This is my bike, my rules.

I'll opt for a decent brake, concession for silliness to the lever.

That lever is horrific and has no place on this bike- poorly made, poorly finished, just crap.

Also, if you are going for matchy matchy I think it's all or nothing- get the brake calipers anodised alongside the 7402 lever blades so everything is gold.

+the Nitto Noodle handlebars.

Gold?

Good luck with the sale.

I was sorely tempted to go with a leopard skin colour scheme using gold and black components and a furry top tube protector.

That would be taking the bike too seriously.

The brake, meh it's just a brake. The lever, sure whatever, it's just a lever. Oh, it comes in gold, then sure I'll take the gold.

They are the ugliest components, but that's OK. They'll work until I replace them.

You could use one of these:-
(I have one knocking about in my shed you can have)

I'll take that as a no then

too gold

Heh.

I quite like them, but I don't think I'd find them comfortable. I prefer cross levers or BMX levers really... but I couldn't be bothered trying to research and source those now. I'm basically deferring that choice until later. It was more important to get hubs, drivetrain, headset, stem and other core components together.

I haven't given brakes much consideration beyond "It should work". I was very lazy in the choice of the brake... I don't even like Dura-Ace in general, never used a DA brake. I'll see how it goes.

Is this resolved yet?

What's to be resolved?
