@youramericanlover I understand the appeal of uniformity, but in the current age of "Black Hegemony" as @Skülly put it, it's extremely difficult to achieve if you want gear indexing, etc. I have embraced the mix of black and silver wholly, and if done in the right way I think it looks amazing! That is with exception to Claud's black seatpost days which still hurt me inside a little. Hats off to you for the effort put in to your build, I'm sure it shows, even if the purists complain... and thanks for the nice comment - It's had 50 very fun miles on it this week so far and there will be many more to come :)
As a sidenote, I bent over backwards to find a blue anodized bottle cage to match my frame closely (Japanese NOS ordered from Poland) and it was the first thing @popdown said he disliked hahah - but I like it.
