I've come to the conclusion that the reason I never ride the road Neil is because it doesn't run well. The gear changes are temperamental and the wheels aren't true, I just don't have the motivation to ride it.
So I'm planning to sink some money in it and build something for training. I'm currently looking at a 5800 group set. With the majority of my budget going into the group, The wheels are going to be cheap. I'm thinking a set of aksiums as I've had a set before and they were reliable. I do have a front silver Ksyrium which I could make black with a paint marker which would save me some money. If I end up using it a lot more, I might invest in some nice wheels, maybe some Chinese carbon rims.
Do you think the frame will look alright with all black components? I'd probably get it a black stem and seatpost too.
