About the silver versus black components... The crankset I've had new in its box for a couple of years is black. Not ideal, then earlier today I saw a bike online that had TA Spécialités Carmina cranks... Which gave me an idea.
Luckily on the Sram Rival cranks the spider is removable. A bit of sanding and polishing later this evening... Too late to hate it, it's done! Needs a lot more work but I've got time given the pace of that project.
