• Things to do:

    • Mudguards! Got some Orange Velo black hammered guards to go on
    • Swap the stem for a 110mm
    • New rear brake pads
    • Silver bottle cages
    • Remove the decals from the seatpost

    Decisions

    Throughout the build I couldn't decide whether to go with black or silver components. In the end I went with black (as the groupset is a mix of black/silver) and to create a different build to @yetidamo. Now its ended up a bit of mismatch with the silver brakes..

    Need to decide:

    • Change the brakes for black?
    • Will black guards work?
    • Will silver cages look shit?
    • Do I need a -10 degree stem?
    • Should i swap the wheels for a set of Pacenti/black CX Ray/Aivee SR5 mango hubs I have?
  • I would go for a Ti cage and a -17 stem, but otherwise bike looks totally awesome.

  • I would look to match colours and tone it down a little.

    The machined grey/silver on the cranks complements the green very nicely, king cages (stainless or ti) have a very similar colouring. I would look for machined grey/silver calipers and seatpost and switch the wheelset to black CX rays.

    I used a duller grey campag seatpost on my Argos which is a similar vivid colour and it looked so much better than the previous silver nitto IMO.

    Beautiful bike either way.
